The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavor -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.

I agree with Mr. Jung. I agree with part of your statement. I do not, however, think that outward success in any of its forms is bad or contemptible. I think that to be living in grace does not mean living an ascetic lifestyle. This is the Garden Of God, we can enjoy any and all of it. It is the attachment to any of it that causes the suffering.

The last part was NOT mine, it is quoted from Albert Einstein..
