Even though we have more things than most, why am I still craving more out of life?

Maybe it’s because we spend so much time on things, that we don’t take the time to experience life!

This leads me into my next segment, the pursuit of happiness and how Buddhism classifies the correlation of our unhappiness with our connection to material things.

“non-attachment is exactly the opposite of separation. You need two things in order to have attachment: the thing you’re attaching to, and the person who’s attaching. In non-attachment, on the other hand, there’s unity. There’s unity because there’s nothing to attach to. If you have unified with the whole universe, there’s nothing outside of you, so the notion of attachment becomes absurd. Who will attach to what?”
