Funeral and Meaning of Life

I was a pall bearer for a 82 year person, Here in Canada. During the process something happened, It made me realize that chasing all mighty dollar is foolish. There are more important things in life. What do you think!!!!!!!!!!

FTFY If you think chasing the money is foolish then send what you have to me. Everything in moderation is another platitude of bullshit, if it is worth doing it is worth over doing is more my style. Your 82yo - not a bad innings, I hope they died happy.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Not sure what you mean... it might be related to money, happiness and their relationship I guess... On this, according to the latest happiness news, in America 66 k$py is all you need money wise to have an impact on happiness (less will make you unhappy, more won't help)

Money can't buy you love, but it can buy lots of other neat stuff (e.g., Tactical Nuclear Penguin)! As far as the meaning of life, it is up to you to discover yours.

Nature disagrees; money adds to your survival-options, hence the aphrodisiacal effect. Our statements are not only conflicting, they're also both extremes, with life somewhere in the middle :)

Money cannot buy happiness, but it does mean you can be miserable in more comfortable surroundings.

Yup, like chasing a euro, or a yen. The most important thing in your life would be survival, that's what you're programmed to. Food, clothes, shelter- all costs money. Would you depart from some of that money, to better the lives of others? Yeah, most of us do, charity is a quite common practice. Then ask yourself if you would turn down a profit of 10 million, if you dumped some toxic waste in a country that you never even heard of.

Money gives you freedom of choice. It's all very well for people to say it isn't everything but try eating or paying the rent/mortgage or raising a family without a source of income. (Unless you're in the UK in which case not a problem: the govt will pay you to do nothing). It's not that there are more important things in life, there are other things and life is about balancing them all.

Not only in the UK, in germany as well. A neighbour of a work-mate is jobless, but he is not searching for a job because he would be earning more working than exploiding the government, but he would lose all the exceptions he has, so he would be paying more to live than this difference in the incomes. So doing maths, it is better to do nothing than to have a job. :doh: :doh: I don't really understand politics

Money is not bad, as long as it doesn't become "the first" in your life. About life... One is not happier having a lot, happier is the one not needing so much. So, yes, money is needed in the world we are living, but if you can get enough to live without problems, having some saves for not expected problems (i.e, car broken) and letting you some "luxus" (i.e, nice holidays) from time to time... I think is more than enough. But... if you live your life obssesed on money, working/cheting/doing whatever it costs to have more... most probably the only thing you will get is a list of "very thankfull" descendants that will heritate all the money you could not enjoy by yourself. What is the sense of having a very big house or a palace, if you can not have the feeling of having a home? The bigger the house is, the more difficult to full it with friends, loughs of kids and/or many other things that make it really worth. The bigger and faster your car is, the less you can enjoy the sights during the travel. ... One sentence I like a lot is: "I would like to whish you that you always get whatever you want, but sometimes is good to fail and learn a lesson from it... What I do whish you is you always havethe strength to try to get what you want, but that you always get what you really need."

That looney is looking pretty mighty actually. On par with the USD. Not that that's saying much though, hehe.

Well, you'll get over it. Funerals have a tendency to give people that whistful longing in the eye look. But if not, one has to find the balance in our responsibility toward money and each other financially, and also our own goals for personal/spiritual development and caring. So, chasing the almightly dollar is not a bad thing necessarily when you have a family, kids, a college fund, etc. Marc
