The first essay with the Dalai Lama was an eye opening essay. It was interesting how the Dalai Lama stated that self satisfaction alone can not determine whether a desire is positive or negative. He said that a murderer may get self satisfaction while killing someone, but that doesn't mean it is a positive act. The Dalai Lama pushes for us to ask our self if we really need something or just want it. If you are more content with what you have, the happier you're going be.
I really like the I Want A Wife essay. It is a bit of a satire. It explains how much mothers do and how it never seems to be enough. The author, having been a wife and a mother, is most likely tired of doing most things and would like to feel what it feels like to have someone else do a lot of the work. I think that she wants others to realize that they should be happy with all the work the moms and wives do and be content with them.
