One day my father, he told me
There were five children playing a wishing game. The one with the best wish would win. The first wished for a new toy. The second wished for a whole shop full of toys. The third wished for a billion dollars so he could buy anything he ever wanted. The fourth thought he was cleverest of all. He wished for three wishes, and with the last of them he would ask for three more, forever. Then the quietest child spoke. ‘I wish I was so content that I never needed another wish again.’ That child won. Because the greatest freedom is not getting everything you want. It is no longer needing to want.
