>>81945852 (OP)people have developed platos attitude towards worldly possesions and even social milestones.
i believe the quote by plato was "so many things i can do without" when he took a stroll through a market and saw all the beautiful wares.
maybe you're a socrates guy, the way he puts it is "he who is content with nothing has everything" true wealth and happiness comes from inner contentment.
