I Dont Get It

What is it with people and money? Whole life you accumulate money only to not take it with you when you die. So why run so much after accumulating all that money? Same with the career. And the respect people demand coz they have some fancy degrees. Lol. Respect comes from within, but demanding it? I just dont get it.

The most amazing thing I ever thought...to be able to heal someone, take away their pain, make them feel better and make them smile again...has also turned into a brutal competition of some sort. And the bigger the hospital, bigger the cost, even though the minimum cost would be one-third of what is being charged. No wonder why most people dont like or respect the doctors.

Not everyone is accumulating money, some are just slogging just to make ends meet

Yes, i'm aware there are always two sides of a coin. I was just venting about the other side. There are more people around where i live who just accumulate money, which irks me a lot.

Whats the point of living if you can't have fun. You need money to do a lot of things that most people consider fun.

Nope, happiness or joy is all within. Money might be needed to 'do' things or for the comforts, but it never would bring the permanent happiness or peace. One can be happy even without all the 'things' or the comforts that money can buy.

Well that is subjective. I for example, may have perfectly valid desires that I require to be truly optimally happy, which happen to be acquirable through money or in a way that would involve money. Your idea of happiness may not be acquirable through currency, and is equally valid. To different people, different things are important, therefor happiness is achieved through different means. If I value something more materialistic than you more than you do, it doesn't make my valued thing invalid or wrong. For some people, money is the easiest route to gain what they need to be happy. For others, they need other methods to pursue happiness. It all comes down to what makes you happy.

That's true. We all have our own views and different people find happiness thru different means. Materialistic happiness is not bad. Nothing is good or bad in a way. In the end, we all want happiness. :)
