After reading How Much Land Does a Man Need it is a real eye opener for how much people take for granted. There is a real problem with materialistic items in today's society. The story shows that the more land the man got, the less of a nice person he was. All he cared about was getting more land. There are people like that today and it is just baffling to me. The rich people have money, but are the unhappy ones. It is the simple things in life that mean something to people not the items they have.
The benefits of a simpler life is having the experience to be thankful for what is given to a person. It isn't worth it in life to have everything placed into your hands for nothing. Working hard for something is definitely worth the struggle. If a rich kid asks "mommy" or "daddy" for something it is only showing how spoiled a child is. On the other hand a child that works at something is being rewarded when a parent gives them something.
There is a definite change from back in the day to today; however, somethings are STILL the SAME!
