Prediction for today

BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
Everything you know, wish for or are fearful of,

may or may not come to pass. Live in a modest

manner, enjoy a little bit each day and save some

joy for tomorrow. Live life in the middle, between the

extremes of optimism and pessimism. Enjoy the freebies

we are granted, the sunrise, rain, wind the sound of the ocean

the song of the bird the smile of a child. Money can not purchase

much of what really matters in life. Money can only purchase the illusion

of happiness and joy, but it can never buy you the real thing.

    Well stated. It seems the ones with all the money, claim money isn't everything.

    I'll try out the illusion anyday.

    I sure was livid when I nearly lost all of my 401k.

    Wanted to kill my Meryl Lynch company representative, money may not buy happiness, but when you lose it,

    sure pisses you off.

    I will be going into an eight-hour

    hibernation today, as soon as

    I get off work.

    Truely the best things in life are free.
  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well... no doubt, many things that make life worth living are free - that is, it requires no exchange of monetary recompense. However, that being said, being broke, homeless and afflicted, in view of a sunset, cannot compare with sitting comfortably, healthy, well fed with a glass of wine in had viewing the same sunset. So, I take exception to those words of wisdom... as would any down and out individual... nice words.. lovely thoughts, but they ring hollow to those in need. Cheers, RickO

    Strange as it may sound there are some people that prefer living in need, it is the lifestyle that they choose.

    << <i>Truly the best things in life are free. >>



    Under certain circumstances, that's absolutely correct.

    However, the real world and it's complications often override that wonderful sentiment.

    Many of the best things in my life required work, and the obvious $$ compensations that go with that, in order to become a reality.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    There is no right or wrong opinion to

    this topic. The many threads of life are

    always subject to infinite redefinition and

    perspective, of the participants.image

    If you seek happiness, you will not find it

    it only comes when you don't seek it

    One must be open in order to

    be able to perceive and receive

    happiness.If a person is determined

    to see only the darkness in the world,

    then it is difficult to ever see the light.
