  ‘...and at the end, we learn that life is not found once the path has been walked on, if not while walking the path' (Caamano-Daou, 2018) Sometimes we may get carried away believing that buying things will bring us happiness, fulfilling moments that make our lives complete.

A man named George once attended a therapy session to try and overcome a love heart break.   During the first session, the therapist assessed the patient's situation to see how she can help him. He was 40 years old, blind and had an assistant part-time to take care of some things he couldn't do due to his disability.  At the end of the session , the therapist asked him to write down all the good things that has happened to him, during one day of the week. After the patient left, the therapist started to doubt if the task was appropriate due to his disability, how can he think of good things that happen to him in one day, he will struggle completing such a hard task when he can't see a thing!.   The following week, George...
