bet you wouldn't be happy then, right fucker?
it's easy to be a zen hippy meditating fag when you have shelter, a bed, electricity, TV, computers, internet, and the whole army of your country protecting your dumb ass
check out some military forums, most soldiers are miserable, they work 15 hours a day and have toxic leaders etc. They're unhappy as fuck. Yet you NEED them for protection. Without their suffering you wouldn't be able to be a "happy" hippie fag
you are a PARASITE
the only reason you can afford to be happy is because of other people's sacrifices
fuck, buddhism is the most pretentious shit I've ever seen, I hate all of you

The point is to not base your happiness on external factors you retards. Buddhism advocates for moderation in everything, which unironically is the healthiest way of doing anything and everything, physically, psychologically, mentally and emotionally.

With the external world being in constant flux by default, basing one's happiness and worth on external factors means that your happiness and worth too will be in flux.

being happy without needing things means you feel a desire to have excess stuff to try to be happy. it has nothing to do with being okay walking around the streets naked like some deranged lunatic, jesus christ lmao

Everything that you experience, whether it's joy, misery, anxiety, bliss, etc happens from within. Everything that you experience happens inside of your body. The main purpose of meditation and traditional yoga in the early stages is to engineer an inner state of blissfulness so that no matter what happens on the outside, on the inside you're happy always. So, in that sense, yes, you don't really need anything to be happy. I've experienced this myself. it doesn't mean that you don't have ambitions in the world or don't have a drive to achieve lots of things, you're just not desperately trying to extract happiness from those successes. It's about inner freedom.

You might be able to do without for a while. But this is an extreme and not actually on the middle path. You cannot be happy with nothing your entire life. You need food, you need tools to eat that food and you need a bed, you need shelter. Most common flaw in peoples thinking is that they seek out extremes instead of pursuing a middle path or a middleground.
And how great is it to find happiness in something as simple as a bread which most people eat everyday, every morning and take for granted?

Not OP but I have become quite spiritual and I find it easy to be calm and happy most of the time and sometimes feel such states of beautiful joy when I meditate. I achieved all this in the past year and a half. I try to meditate daily and afterward I take gratitude for all the good things in life, especially the simple things like just the fact that I have been given this life to experience.

I read a couple philosophical books, the best one was Letters from a Stoic, followed by the Zhuangzhi and Meditations by Aurelius. Also read about Henry David Thoreau, his philosophy is sick. It's essentially that man is inherently good and pure but we are corrupted by society's systems and all the bullshit noise we are subjected to from birth, and you can uncover your true self through self contemplation and meditating while alone. Honestly I have done a lot of this stuff and I am really a lot better at knowing who I am and doing what contributes to my goals and enjoying the process while not taking life too seriously. Also I was into self-improvement without achieving much for about 6 months, the real progress started coming when I stopped stressing out so much about the things I wanted to do that I didn't and accepted my failings. You need to show yourself a little love and forgiveness.
