I've got a super duper Bluetooth wireless headset thing for my telephone at work. I'm thrilled! I can walk around pretending to be Will Smith in iRobot or Madonna. Someone at work told me I was easily pleased - to which I countered - that's why I'm a happy person.. as I am easily pleased. They just glared. I can't even say they're just jealous as I ordered them one too. Ah well... everyone else was deeply envious.

or like Keanu Reeves on Speed. I'd get one but accountants are forbidden by law from having them, because they are too cool.
 
On a related subject, which is better? - to have a very limited life, so that anything interests you, or a very varied life, so that everything bores you?
 
I think limited life. It must be terrible for nothing in life to excite you. Then you turn to drugs, scary sports and life-endangering activities for your kicks.

Though it's a fine line - one of my friends enthuses so much about everything that we can't carry on a decent conversation when walking down the street because she gets distracted by anything vaguely pretty, tasty looking, unusual etc.
 
I think this is somehow related to the "those who have much will be given more and those who have little, even what they have will be taken away from them."
 
this is the opposite of those who have much will be given more. This is more like those who have little are happy with what they've got and those who have much might as well have nothing for all the good it does them.
 
I was thinking it also has to do with perceptions. Those who have much but don't value it (for them it's little) will end up throwing away what they have. While those who have little but are happy for it and value it (for them it's much) will find themselves getting more. I think that also happens in experience.
