hi dear friends we are striving to achieve bigger things and higher positions in life . but ultimately when we leave this world what is left in our empty hands!! no money , no mansions, no cars, just nothing. but if we live cooly and calmly and earn a good reputation it will allow us to leave this world peacefully!!what do you say dear friends?

actually we do not need to be very wealthy to be happy. what we need is a peace to our mind and go with the flow of life. if we do not do any bad things that harms other and make us feel guilty, we will stay happy and live peacefully.

Not much, not less! That is what one requires to live peacefully! But human mind is such that one more want crops up, when one is satiated! That is human nature. More over, happiness or otherwise is ruled by mind and when you can control your mind, you can achieve what you want. But it's not easy to do, given the nature of human mind and outside and inside factors influencing it! But one can try to live peacefully, and leave peacefully, by controlling the wavering mind!

I reckon be good to do that if people just can but you know the fact, greed is part of us that you never remove. And besides people never get satisfied of what they have they always out there looking for more materials. Leaving this world peacefully will never happen.
