What determines how well you live, and why it’s not about wealth at all

Each person has their own living space and is strictly individual. Its limits are limited by financial capabilities, coincide with personal boundaries and are often determined by them. Unfortunately, not everyone understands that curiosity, intelligence and a broad worldview can increase its limits to the maximum. Because material benefits are limited in this.



Today the editors of “Site” are discussing this.

Living space If a person’s personal territory has relative limits, then with life boundaries everything is much more complicated. A newborn’s personal space is just developing. Because he needs close contact with his mother to feel safe.

For a one-year-old baby, the conditional personal boundary is set to the length of an outstretched arm. And he freely lets only very close people in there. And the baby’s living space corresponds to the parent’s.



Over time, the limits of living space may change. Both in the direction of increase and in the opposite direction. This is due to a person’s age, upbringing and education. Their expansion is influenced by the historical development of civilization.

If in a primitive creature it is commensurate with the territory of the tribe, then in modern society the conscious limits of its member are sometimes limitless. His personal space is also constantly increasing. I would like to note that its borders are respected more and more strictly every day. Today this is one of the favorite topics at a psychologist’s appointment.



Someone is content with little and travels all over the world, not having a penny to his name, but he feels like a happy person: he is free, no one encroaches on personal boundaries, and his living space is commensurate only with the size of the vast planet. You look at him and notice that he radiates complete peace, and his eyes look at the world with incredible kindness in his gaze.



And someone owns millions of accounts, lives in a luxurious mansion, flies on vacation to exotic countries, simultaneously films all this and posts it on the Internet for everyone to see. And here the question arises: will an absolutely free and happy person without complexes brag to others about his personal life and demonstrate to others that he has achieved something? He has a smiling but tense face, and in his eyes there is arrogance and emptiness.

His companion hangs around his neck with airbags instead of a mouth and mammary glands. Of course, “I have money, I can afford it.” Only eyelash extensions, lip plumping or enlarging breasts to incredible sizes does not in any way affect the expansion of a beauty’s horizons. Rather, on the contrary, it indicates a significant reduction. So they stand in the photo, outwardly so happy and happy. Where is real happiness?! One show!



If we compare the living space of different individuals, a paradoxical thing becomes clear: wealth is not the main sign of its growth, that is, happiness does not lie in money. A person often feels like a bird in a cage. The only difference is that wealthy people have a golden cage.



Do you think this makes it easier for them? And no matter how you live your life, no matter how you try to expand your personal and living space, as a result everything will be limited to an area of two by two (sorry for the dark humor!). Therefore, it makes sense to organize your framework in such a way as to feel comfortable and happy there. And if not, then at least strive for it. Is not it?
