Is it possible for any one to practice simple living and high thinking? Not to indulge in materialism and be content with basic needs alone. To treat the good and the bad alike, to accept happy and sad events with same mental state and not to be affected by flattery or curses. This means that one should overcome all emotions and feelings. Is this really possible in life?

I don't know if it's possible to live like that, but i definitely think that we should try very hard to live like that, because if we all lived happy with what we have, everyone would live more happily. To acomplish this, we must be humble, and thankful for the things we have.
