It is preoccupation with possessions,
more than anything else,
that prevents us from living freely and nobly.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need,
but not every man's greed.

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

The be-all and end-all of life
should not be to get rich,
but to enrich the world.

Do not think me mad.
It is not to make money
that I believe a Christian should live.
The noblest thing a man can do is,
just humbly to receive,
and then go amongst others and give.
~David Livingstone
