Yes, I do understand that dream of wanting to enter eternal sleep.
These days I see my life as an independent, unique individual (something that I may possibly never experience again) and my contentment has arisen from within despite being unable to lay claim to great wealth or even great anything.
I just don't feel poor. In fact, it is pretty much as Bym has intimated: one door closes and another one opens.
The best thing in life for me is to feel content and I often do; you feel wealthy in this state, you feel that you have at least enough.
