possessions one is having.&

Prosperity is the feeling of having more than required. Feeling of

adequacy or abundance with that wealth.

We mostly fail to make the difference today.

We keep working for wealth without realizing that the basic desire is for

the feeling of prosperity.

Think and answer?????

Accumulating more and more wealth while feeling deprived

Or

Having requisite wealth and feeling prosperous.

Wealth is just a means to reach there our ultimate basic desire is to feel

prosperous.Else it is like trying to fill water in a glass which has no bottom.

we have, it is always less and we feel deprived.
