Needless to mention the special wisdom of Socrates.
He was also known for his simplicity & austerity in life.
Socrates was very appreciative of the spiritual wisdom of Hindu sages.

Though Socrates was simple,
he had a fascination to visit market place and
spend time in window shopping.

His friend once asked him
why spent so much of time gazing at products he never bought.

Socrates said with a smile,
“I like to spend time here.
Coming here I realize how happy I am,
even though I don’t have these products in my life “

Is it strange ?
Not really. Human we are and we tend to think to have pleasure by having something. So we tend to drive for something and possess to derive pleasure, only to realize that something else has more pleasure in it than what we have on hand.

The point here is from NLP angle
it is the meaning what we give to events
is what makes sense to us, nothing less nothing more. It is our interpretation
that gives meaning
Like Shakespeare said, “Nothing
is good or bad; our thinking makes it so”
