How much does a person need for happiness?
As my main hobby in traveling to countries is to see Markets, Villages and people of Laos, I found all of these people friendly and always wanting to ask questions and understand foreign people. This place was no different from Vietnam, Cambodia, or any other country I have visited. The village life was lovely here with people living with very little, enjoying stuff that we take for granted. Plus it is always a plus when I see pigs running around!!!!
Is village life a perfect example of people living with what they need only. Do they look for the next i Phone or the next rain for their rice to flourish. Wants vs. Needs in life. We all in the first world are guilty of the Wants in life. However will these small village people that KNOW how to live off the land be able to flourish if technology or electricity is taken away one day. The answer is…..THEY WILL BE THE ONES THAT RULE THE WORLD……
