You must ask yourself 

how is it you want to live your life.

We live and we die, this is the truth 

that we can only face alone.

No one can help us, not even the Buddha. 

So consider carefully, what prevents you from 

living the way you want to live your life?

If one's life is simple, contentment has to come.

Simplicity is extremely important for happiness.

Having few desires, feeling satisfied with 

what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with

to protect yourself from the elements.
