In Search of Bliss




In my own search for happiness, I chanced upon the book "The Geography of Bliss,", recommended by Abeer. It's the latest read for our paltry book club of four.

So far it's a fantastic. During a car ride through Bhutan, the author chances upon this billboard:

When the last tree is cut,
When the last river is emptied,
When the last fish is caught,
Only then will Man realize that he cannot eat money.

I think that verse speaks volumes about our outlook on money..and how frivolous it is. Your toughts?
