    It's simple and nice explanation of need and want. Live for yourself or for others.
    I see some of the comment on video saying, its easy for him because he got land and went back to his easy part of life. But to understand this video one must have seen the simplistic form of life.
    It's my personal observation. When I go back to my village. We don't have to many facility there. Even very less electricity around 8 hours per day.
    But I find faces are happier there. My be there, people don't thirst for luxury or complicate things.

    Frankly speaking, I wonder if it's really worth being curious and ambitious (both don't necessarily go together, I know). I can choose a simple life; not needing anything - fancy iPhone, Internet, computer, whatsapp, TV. What the speaker says is right, people spend 30-40 years of their life paying the banks a regular EMI at the cost of freedom.

    I personally made a conscious choice of not taking a loan. So far, I've been able to manage pretty well. I've made a commitment to myself that I'll only afford the things that I can quickly buy with the money in the bank; not something that's valued more than what's in the bank.

    But sometimes, I wonder if I should really bother about running after stuff. What else would we do otherwise?

    The guy has put a bullet in the eye of 'social conditioning' so well!

    Just watched the talk. 15 minutes totally worth it. I laughed out loud at at least 3 different moments.

    I have always dreamt of growing our own food and still don't recall a single instance where I have wanted something so badly. I fully understand that I haven't experienced 'the need' to have something because I have been truly blessed to have been born in a family and a society that has given me everything (basics and beyond) without even asking for it.

    Now comes the 'chasing your dream' part - I think what he says is really true. We are over complicating things in every sphere of life, be it career, food, health, needs and what not.

    However, just for the sake of argument - I want to ask - If a person has a dream of roaming the world once - 1 World Tour, what can he/she do without earning that kind of money? Surely, there has to be a way of making big bucks and lowering all your extra demands for that, is it?

    I think that when a person has a dream of building something, producing something of need for the society - a company/a product/employment, going places, - life ceases to be simple - and it happens by choice.

    What say you people?

    We complicate things over materialized thing. Luxury comfort become need. Showing off become a need for us. We think we are happy. But in reality, we are sad with this kind of thinking.
    Today I saw a new some Chinese boy try to sell kidney to buy a high end phone.😨 What kind of happiness he going to get with this.

    Really, life is so easy, if we start to feel it, touch it with its natural colors only. Its life holder only who make it difficult by his own strategy, opinion n way of living. Actually, we start living our life very late, when we get realised what life is actually.
    so, self imagination and control is most necessary.
    thanks
