I meant to address that in my earlier reply...
I believe that holds true because, we who have the least (materialistically), are not blinded by that false sense of value, therefore, we are more capable to see clearly that of which truly sustains us. Our gain. Our reward to treasure.
Greed, in any person, distorts the true value of life. Their loss. Their burden to carry.

It is my firm belief that, "The less you have, the more you are".
It is unfortunate, however, that our society focuses the emphasises of the materialistic gain as the measure of true success, therefore forcing us to deal with maintaining a portion of that in order to survive.
We HAVE TO conform to the expectations of our society in order to get by, whether or not we want to, (our only option is to become homeless if we don't want to conform, and even that has a severe price of burden). However, homelessness does have a valuable lesson in itself (been there, done that once in my lifetime), and I am grateful for that experience. It has humbled me beyond what I ever thought even possible.
Perhaps, that is a path which, all who have been blinded by greed, need to walk for themselves.

I'm seeking to simplify my life. Moving to a dink of a town up north-eastern Nevada where life is simple and far less materialistic. If I could, I'd find me a lil dwelling somewhere in the middle of nowhere and recluse self back to nature..but even that requires money to start off with. (Besides, I don't think my dot would be all too thrilled with the thought of being removed from society at present...lol.not that I would, or could, anyway). That's a choice only she can make for herself once the opportunity presents itself to her.
