Traveling to contrasting environments, such as Dharamsala compared to a Western city like Los Angeles, profoundly alters perceptions of abundance and spirituality. Engaging with communities that possess very little yet exhibit joy challenges assumptions about what constitutes happiness and fulfillment. It prompts a reevaluation of priorities, revealing that material wealth does not guarantee emotional well-being. Notably, even those in positions of acclaim and wealth often experience deep suffering, highlighting the incongruity between external success and internal happiness. This disconnect suggests that many attempt to fill an inherent 'God-shaped hole' with superficial resources, yet fail to find genuine contentment.
