Rich Enough

Brought to you by my Dad and Lao Tzu.

He who has enough is rich.

Or

Who is contented has wealth.

So go two ways of translating a line from verse 33 of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu's primer on Taoist philosophy.

Dad summed things up thus: If you have TP in the bathroom and ice cream in the freezer, you're okay. Necessities and at least one luxury covered? Good to go.

I'm rich. I'm beyond rich. I have TP and ice cream and good health and friends to share them with.

Your assignment: Report back to me with three signs of your wealth.

Today around the world: May 19 is Malcolm X Day in the U.S., Youth & Sports Day in Turkey, and Holiday of Poetry Day in Turkmenistan. Does that last one mean a holiday full of poetry or a holiday from poetry?
