Simplicity

A lot of things are missing in my life. Every now and then I get this unfulfilled and sucky feeling. A lot of things need to be done and I am doing nothing. I thought I need some motivation, but idling wouldn't bring about any either. Channel U broadcasted this show "leng nuan ren jian shi" yesterday. The show highlighted the life of the group from the TOUCH, a home for adults with mild intellectual disability. It featured 3 of them. I sensed the satisfaction from within them when they obtain the simple necessitites in life. A lady hopes to buy a house when she reaches 35, to live with her elder brother, who is also mentally intellectually disabled. It's true, as the saying goes: one finds happiness when he don't demands. Is it possible for me to lower my expectations in life, and would it bring about happiness eventually? I have been picturing in my mind that wealth and luxury is a part of my later phase of life. And putting tangibles aside, how can I influence relationships and emotions to affect my happiness? At this stage, I have not found my solution, but instead realised that I am the solution to some other. I hope that he does feel it, when I had taken 2 meals with him for the past 4 days. I always cannot seem to recall when I had my previous meal with him. It seemed ages. Even though conversation was rather minimal, it was a zillion times better than dining alone. Especially when dinner was cooked on Sundays, and he ended up dining alone in the living room. The share of three unfinished, either left to rot slowly in the fridge, one day... one week.. then desposed away in despair and agony. Why cook when no one comes home for dinner? Simple actions do mean alot. Simplicity may bring about simple happiness. But I crave for the taste of glory and sucess, and perhaps fame. Would I lose the simple happiness I that I could enjoy whilst in the hunt for fame and glory? Or perhaps I can achieve both at the same time. But for now, I need to find out what has been missing in my life, that had caused me to feel the emptiness...
