Societies and people that come close to being happy are those that do well in narrowing the disparity between their desires and their needs, especially the material things of life.

About This Quote

The more a society or a person is able to satisfy their material needs, the more happy they are. When people have what they need, they are able to be happy. If they do not have what they need, they continue to search for it and will eventually find something that will make them happy. Material things don’t make us happy, but if we can get what we need and keep it, we feel better about ourselves because we have something that we can use to help us be happy.
