STOP

Estaba en el aire, en un avión que me traía una vez mas a Buenos Aires leyendo mi revista favorita y reflexionando un poco sobre los últimos años de idas y vueltas.
Me encontré con todo esto al final de una nota:

Happiness, I think, is all about knowing when to stop. When to stop accumulating and throw things out or store them. When to stop working and take a few month off. When to stop eating and stop drinking. When to travel, and when to stop travelling and stay in one place for a while. When to stop furnishing a house because it has everything it needs. This knowing-when-to-stop is the true meaning of post-materialism, and is both difficult and easy to master. Difficult because we live in a society that is forever egging us on, and never wants us to stop consuming. But easy because we all have an instinct, a little voice inside, which tell us when to stop; which knows the optimum point, that particular and precious relationship between having and happiness. All we have to do is locate that voice and listen to it.
