Well, base on the knowledge I recently acquired about luxury; it is something that is an indulgence rather than a necessity. And talking about indulgence; it is simply a way of gratifying desires. For me, it is a foolish and in fact a senseless behavior.Instead of focusing only on comfort and luxury we should rather get something doing. Something that will fire us up, makes us happy and at the same time excited. Anything can indeed draw or make us happy. For example, some people found delights in reading, acting, dancing, singing and much more. As for me, my delights are simply in writing, acting and reading whatever I found my hands on. peeps, looking at all these closely and with a great knowledge, you will come to understand that these so called comfort and luxury arent the chief requirements of life. It is instead, living an enthusiastic life.",

Had I not persuaded myself from my youth up, thanks to the moral lessons derived from a wide reading, that nothing is to be greatly sought after in this life save glory and honour, and that in their quest all bodily pains and all dangers of death or exile should be lightly accounted, I should never have borne for the safety of you all the burnt of many a bitter encounter, or bared my breast to the daily onsets of abandoned persons.
