Quote by George Carlin

Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body.

Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like tryin

Summary

This quote points out the futile pursuit of happiness through material possessions. It humorously highlights the absurdity of thinking that accumulating material wealth will lead to lasting happiness. Just as taping sandwiches all over one's body won't satisfy hunger, amassing possessions won't truly fulfill our emotional and spiritual needs. It suggests that true happiness comes from within, rather than from external possessions. Material wealth may provide temporary pleasure, but genuine and lasting happiness is found through inner fulfillment and contentment.
