Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.
- Time for more deep questions.
- Which is more important, being rich and famous or truly knowing yourself?
- Which is more painful, gaining things or losing them?
- When we base our lives on making money to buy stuff, all we ever want to do is buy more stuff.
- And when all we are is the things we have, then we've lost something that's pretty darn important: our true selves.
- It's only when we live simply that we can truly be satisfied.
