We think we're so sophisticated and smart but we don't know diddly compared to these people. There's nothing to add; their own statements are simple, elegant, and true. They lack for material possessions but not for understanding or happiness.
I had the same experience on one of my visits to India. I realized I was picking up the impression that the village people I met, or farmers, were actually happier than people back in the States. Why are we so superficially smart and yet so stupid about what really matters?
