To live a simple, happy life

To live a simple happy life
you need to perfect
one of two arts
either learn how not to want much
or learn how not to hurt much
It's not so easy, however,
because you'd likely not get what you truly want
unless you want it bad
and unless it hurts bad
but then I am assuming
that to live a simple happy life
without much pain or heady exhilaration
You dont even need to get much.

my question is...
how do you know what you truly want??
how?
only then can you think of "how much you want or not want it"
