was reading this article on the sunday times.
'wealth means different things to different people. to some, it is simply being financially secure, or living a rich and rewarding life. to others, it means having all the material trappings of success that the modern world offers, or being termed a billionaires simply because one has a billion dollars.
society is now wealthier than ever, providing an array of choices that were not available to earlier generations. the opportunities to lie an authentic life, on one's own terms, are unprecedented. yet the evidence is that, as society grows richer, people are not becoming any happier.'
and so i believe the saddest thing about life is not having NO money, but having TOO MUCH money but not knowing how to spend it. most people spend 2/3 of their lives trying to be rich. when the art of spending, the value of money is lost on you, then what other goal in life could you have?
