From The Dalai Lama’s Little Book of Inner Peace:
You might also enjoy:Even if you had the world at your feet, it would still not be enough. Desire is insatiable. And on top of that, how many disappointments and difficulties, and how much suffering! Excessive desire is not only impossible to satisfy, it’s also the source of torment. Let’s imagine that you are extraordinarily rich, and you have a huge stock of food. But you have only one mouth and one stomach, so you cannot swallow more than an ordinary person. If you ate enough for two, you would die. It’s better to establish boundaries right from the start, and feel satisfied within those boundaries.
