"It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted in pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. What you see is what you get."
Annie Dillard from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Wealth by Jiang Tiefeng
Interesting symbol for wealth. So much more complicated than the symbol for happiness.
ReplyDeleteI think the symbol for penny would be very simple indeed. Something like an exclamation point!
