There is a story...
A person who name is Jack,
He had just bought a spoon made of gold.
When he uses it for his meal, he found out that his gold spoon does not 'match' his ceramic bowl. So, he felt very uneasy and not comfortable.
So, he went to buy an expensive and very good quality of bowl. He thought he will be happy when having his meal. But, things went out of his thought, Jack suddenly found out that the dining table does not 'match' with his bowl and spoon. Then, he starting to feel uncomfortable again. So, now he plan to buy a very classy and stylish dining table to 'match' with his bowl and spoon.
When he got the table which can 'match' his spoon and bowl, he thought that everything is enough. But, things happen again in the opposite way, when he saw the stylish, classy and expensive dining table, he again found out that the set of dining chairs does not look good with his dining table..Now, he want to change the set of dining chairs to those which can 'match' with his dining table.
So, when he finally get his chairs, table, spoon and bowl 'match'ed. He found out that these are still not enough, those expensive chairs, table,spoon and bowl does not match his house. So, he has the great feeling to move to a new, big, expensive and nice house to match with what he had.
When he moved into his new and big house, he thought he already satisfied on what he has. But, later he found out that his car does not match his house, so he now going to change his car to a more better and stylish one.

So...do you think Jack will be satisfied after he got his new and stylish car?
if your answer is yes,
Sorry, i don't think so...don't you think we just like Jack?
We always craving endlessly..from a small little things, we usually crave over things which we think that they 'could make our life better', but do you think those things really can help us?
STOP..and think... What is our motive to go and craving for things? do those things really can help us in life? It is important to think first before spending money,time and emotional to those things, which we 'think' we like to have them. PLZ DONT be like Jack...craving for those unmeaningful things will ended you in nowhere. THE MORE THINGS YOU HAVE, THE WORRIER YOU ARE..SO, why make your life so suffer???
and
FOR JACK,
Do you think that those expensive things you have will remain with you forever?? What will you do if those things gone in a blink of eyes, either by robbery, fire or nature disaster?? Can you easily accept it? Let me remind you, the greater craving you have, the greater worry or phobia you have on losing those things...
AND another thing, You CANT take those together with you after you passed away... SO THINK CAREFULLY O....
