Sometimes a simple action, such as growing your own garden, can give you immense pleasure. Something that is yours, that you care for and watch it grow. When we overload our senses, they become dull, and we need stronger and stronger stimuli to “feel” anything. But when we go closer to our nature, our inner self, our relationship with God, we start to distinguish what is truly good for us and what is not and can be happy with less material possessions.
