“No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don't have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have.”

- Seneca, Moral Letters, 123.3

We live in a world full of materialism. Young and old alike struggle daily with the Fear of Missing Out.

The fall Apple event is around the corner. Millions of people will be upgrading to the latest generation of the iPhone. They will be upgrading not because their current phone is unusable, but because it is not new.

Conclusion

Before purchasing the latest game console, imagine how much time will be lost playing games. Do I need the new iPhone, or do I want the new iPhone? The wealthiest among us are those who covet less.
