I think that path would be fine, but Mrs. Motion would frown on it.

SOunds like you should ask your wife for that path.

That's easy and I've said it many times here. True happiness is actively trying to make the life of the person next to you a little better whether they are family, friends or strangers. Most instances are tiny, sometimes you are blessed with bigger ones. You have to look for opportunities but they are always there, you just have to look at life a little differently. Sacrifice your own needs so that others may benefit. I urge everyone to try it, it's a lot of fun.

Accumulate possessions, preferably really expensive ones

There you go..being serious and truthful.

To me its somewhat the other way around. Be brutally honest with yourself regarding what you need to fulfill your inner most desires. Do it.
That will make you happy and being truly happy is the only way to give you the power to make other people happy too.
Works for me and my wife anyway.
And as she keeps reminding me: Happy wife, happy life.

There it is, at least for me.

In my opinion, "enlightened" people would be the last to know they are...

I bet my lifestyle would cause you and Mrs. Motion to flee in terror and disappointment, but it is my gig and I love it.

You know any Buddhists? Serious question, every Buddhist I know seems to be centered, calm and at peace and exude that. Makes me want to explore it more. They seem to have found something I have not.

Perhaps they did but it likely involves losing every thing you have.

I know nothing about the religion. My neighbor around the corner, another car guy is a Buddhist. He just traded his 700HP Twin Turbo 911 for a newer Turbo 911.

Either he does not follow his religion to the T. Someday I will ask. Every time I stop to talk to him it is typically about cars, I always leave impressed by how mellow he is.

Next time I will ask him about his Buddha statues all over his front garden. Maybe I am assuming too much. Maybe he just likes the statues.

This, my comment (in green) was meant to be facetious, most philosophies that offer enlightenment recommend letting go of earthly possessions.

As Seahawk said enlightenment can mean very different things to different people... my dream was to move to Hawaii, live off fruit and fish and go swimming in the ocean every day.

My wifes dream is to move back to the PNW where she grew up.

Someone else's dream may be to move to Idaho and become a potato farmer.
