I have always believed that being thankful, even for the little that one possesses, is the happiest way to live. I am always criticized and accused of having a conformist way of thinking, but when I reflect on how many people in this world would be very happy being in my same position of lacking things I wish I had, I know that the best thing in life is to be thankful for the little I have.

All this came to my mind when I read that you were not happy because you did not have the pile of meat you wanted. Surely many people in this world would be happy if they lacked that pile of meat, but if they had the food that you recognize you had at that moment. Really, you can be happy with very little.
