Wealth and Happiness

From the Hezicos Tarot, the Ten of Coins; from the Way of the Horse, The Herd:

There are two ways to be rich: One is by acquiring much, and the other is by desiring little. 

―Jackie French Koller

This little family has found the way to feel rich by learning to live moderately. They lack nothing, having all the basics that keep them safe and healthy. Appreciating what they have, they are content with enjoying the simple things in life. In their philosophy, less is more; they understand how excess can create complications and add to problems. The Herd parallels new research that has found living a longer, happier life requires more than taking care of our bodies. Close relationships, rather than money, made a huge difference. As psychiatrist Robert Waldinger put it, “Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”
