About This Quote

It is very true that having something is not always better than not having it. It is true that when you have something, it can make you happy. However, sometimes it is better to be poor and have less things. It is not always better to have too many things.

Sometimes, it is better to have no one. One of the best examples of this is the story of the farmer who had everything he wanted. He had a big house with a big garden, a big farm with many animals, and even a great library filled with many books.

However, he only read one book every day and that was the Bible. One day he died and went to heaven where there were all kinds of people from different places but they all had one thing in common - they all read the Bible every day. They were all so happy to be in heaven because they knew what it was like to be without stuff.
