"Money is not everything! Money cannot buy you happiness!"
What say you? And, how does one measure wealth? Who should be termed RICH with MONEY?
I feel, only THOSE, bitter with lack of monetary wealth, trying to console their poor dejected selves simultaneously seeking SUPPORT of the POOR or POORER MAJORITY to sing their depressing tunes, will scream and insist on the opening statements!!
It is common to have a RICH being jeered at, with remarks such as.....
"So what if he is rich. He has no family members around him!" Does it then deem to be DESERVING not to have relations if one is POOR?
"So what if he is rich, he can't even get himself cured of his illness!" Does it mean the poor are free from incurable ailments?
"So what if he is rich, he cannot buy eternal life!" Does the poor live on forever?
"So what if he is rich, he cannot be buried with his wealth!" Here, I reserve comments, for the poor would have NOTHING to be buried with anyway!
Come on! Given such instances, how does MONEY correlate?
These situations strike both RICH and POOR, YET, merely the RICH or RICHER are scorned at while the POOR or POORER sympathized with!!
I would gladly announce that HAPPINESS lies in one's own hands! One dictates how colorful a life one craves to lead!!
WHO, in the world would not yearn for everything....Family, Wealth and Health?
However, there are times when choices have to be made and sacrificed....
To the AVARICIOUS me, I value the STRENGTH of MONEY!! As I had it documented on Facebook, quoted by Leena Wong "NO MONEY NO TALK, MONEY WALKS THE TALK!"
Life with even little money spells misery! Without it, how then could I have afforded and enjoyed my pampering facial and massage sessions? vacations abroad? beautiful clothing and nice comfortable homes?
I'm not being arrogant or trying to disparage the poor or poorer. I only feel that the rich or richer should be spared criticism....
Below, an exchange of recent conversations that spurred me into sharing my views on this blog.
Only my comments and that of my Facebook friend's, in red, posted on her wall, copied and pasted for your diversion....
I realise 1 thing.. doesnt mean when u have money living in a high class condo or driving luxury cars you are happy... I hv seen how lonely, self.centered and sad a person can be regardless how tough one behaves or happy on the surface. It is lonely at the end.... m very grateful for what I have....
Money cannot buy happiness but can poverty guarantee that? Not having money is definitely a misery! I would choose to hold fast to thinking that happiness is a state of mind....
Its good and nice to have money provided you know how to balance w companionship or family happiness.... w money if one think they can push ppl ard n pretend to be happy on surface... just a sad sight..
My dear, similarly the poor or poorer may project a superficial front of happiness....
I've seen that too, Leena Wong.
Hence, I conclude, happiness lies in our hands. We decide whether to stay positive and be happy or lean towards negativity and live in misery!
Whatever, I doubt if ever there is one who has never experienced happiness or sadness at one time or other in one's path. That's life....of ups and downs.....
But if you ask me, I'd rather cry in a Rolls Royce than laugh on a bicycle as quoted by the ex-wife of the Italian Gucci family!
By the way, this phrase brought about repercussions from the majority of the poor in China when, during a Dating Talk Show, a contestant quoted it!! LOL!!
Lol good one
