It depends on one's definition of prosperity. It is the extremely poor of heart and mind who define prosperity as the number or size of material things they possess. A very short existence of 70 or 80 years is evidence that material possession as evidence of prosperity is far worse than striving after the wind. I have been in those environments on multiple occasions in the distant past when visiting friends. A good number of those who live in such places are devoid of greed and avarice, satisfied with having a roof over their heads, value good education for their children if they can afford it, and generally get on with living until their time is up. The young amongst them do not spend all of their lives there as they grow, move and build their own families.

I clearly remember the envy I always felt whenever I visited, at the simplicity of their lives. Yes, there are probably quarrels as stated here by some. There are disagreements and gossip and all that. But those are better than innate greed and avarice including a desire to get rich at all costs.
We must each reassess our definition of what a successful life is while there is still time. We don't want to get to the end of our days and finally realise the truthfulness of the words penned by our manufacturer : "vanity and striving after the wind".
