The Khmers

I read this in an opinion column somewhere:
"Given their desire to improve their lot by any means necessary, the Vietnamese (in Cambodia) are often labeled - 'industrious.' What is seen in the Khmer's 'tolerance for physical privation' - others have tagged as simply 'laziness.'

I thought to myself... maybe it's just because they have less "created needs" than the rest of us. Thus they are more "contented" with the "little" that life gives and offers.

Actually reminded me of St. Therese: "God alone is enough!" - so why long for more?
