Looking at these photographs in which you can see only dried-up swamp reeds I was struck by the thought of how useful it is to be content with little to be able to do this but this needs to be learned and not everyone can feel and understand it.

Yes for a person who lives in full prosperity this phrase sounds utopian but I have seen many wealthy people who dress very simply drive a modest car eat not in expensive restaurants but cook their own food instead of vacationing in the Maldives they spend time at the dacha with their family on the shore of a neighboring lake.

But I have met very few low-income people who are resigned to what they have and are content with what they have today.

It’s not easy to be happy when you have an empty refrigerator and a bag of crackers but I have crackers but they might not have been, and this is the ground for joy.

There is water in the tap but electricity is paid for and it allows you to turn on the light in the evenings even during the war, and this is a lot, and I don’t want to compare it with the option when you need to illuminate the apartment with paraffin candles and run to the well from the top floor of a high-rise building with a bucket in your hands for water and so it could be.

But if you could find a well, this is a great happiness because today it is almost impossible to find it in the city, lol.

I would like to show you a beautiful mountain landscape with a meandering river but at the moment I only have photographs with reeds in the foreground and this I think is the case when you can teach yourself to be content with little but reeds looks good lol.
