Poor people can't afford to be unhappy. Only people with money can be unhappy.

Ever realize this? The people you see around you who are poorer financially are often happier people with more friends and stuff. The people with money and status in society are often lonelier and more unhappy.

I won't go into explaining all the events up to my life that lead me to feel this way but I think at this point, I just want to find ways to make as much money as I can, buy a nice home in some quiet, pretty neighborhood and get married to my piano and be miserable.

It depends. There are some poor people who have no friends or any purpose in life and are miserable just by existing (ex. me) and then there are those who do have friends, a purpose and are happy just by god knows what. The same goes for rich people. Certain celebrities have everything one could wish for, yet deep down inside, they're miserable and want to off themselves, while others have their true needs fulfilled and are happy with their cemented reputation and whatnot. It's a mixed bag from how I see it.

The only thing that makes sense about life is death.

I think that it depends on the type of person you are. Money change people, but not everyone. Even if you have money you can still be happy and even if you don't have money you can still be unhappy.

If you have hope, then you can be happy.

Have you been trying to tell us all along that you're rich?

A good part of it is learning to be happy with what you have. Like some very smart man once sad, there are only two true tragedies in life, one is not getting what you want, the other is getting it.

nah man, you can still be miserable and poor at the same time... it's all a matter of perspective... my perspective is skewed atm with a nice generous helping of the courage juice =)

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

i think it really depends on the person. it's how everyone has a different outlook on life, on things that happen, on just about everything. no matter how similar two people think, they really aren't that similar. there are unhappy poor people, there are happy poor people, there are unhappy rich people, and happy rich people.

the thing is, when it comes to money, it may lessen the stress factor a lot and let you focus your happiness on other things but you can't say that poor people are genuinely happier. i don't think that happiness can be judged on social standing or by money alone. i think what you need to look at is ... what types of people are happy? their outlook on life, the way they take in events and actions, the way they feel when certain things happen to them and what they make of it.

Some say i'm a genius, others say i'm crazy

but they all say i'm a little on the weird side

sounds like a cop-out to me. 'its easier to woo money than to woo women' when in reality, both are difficult and you may settle for middle class.

yeap, poor ppl have to use what they have to make them happy, the basic needs are like family, friends, being healthy etc..they aren't thinking about living in paradise b/c its almost an unrealistic goal
but when your rich, ppl want more from life, like exotic cars, mansions etc..to get what they want most out of living life

how many times must I fall over and over again? and when will i finally succeed at a such a vital point in my life while my time is dwindling away???

gtfo. who are you? why are you relevant?

"But when it ends and while it ends, something comes, after so much rage, persistence, obstinacy, extravagance; something entirely unexpected and touching in its mildness and goodness. With the motif passed through many vicissitudes, which takes leave and so doing becomes itself entirely leave-taking, a parting wave and call, with this D G G occurs a slight change, it experiences a small melodic expansion. After an introductory C, it puts a C sharp before the D. . .and this added C Sharp is the most moving, consolatory, pathetically reconciling thing in the world. It is like having one's hair or cheek stroked, lovingly, understandingly, like a deep and silent farewell look. . . . " (Mann: 55).

Being rich doesn't make you lonely and miserable. It just that those people don't know how to balance their lives. Also poor people aren't always happy. The key is balancing your life and you should be happy no matter how much money you have.

^ D_K don't even bother responding to stuff like that. People like that make themselves look foolish, so no need to point it out.

Cloudy, all I can say is that ANYONE can be unhappy (rich or poor). It's a choice just as much as it is a state of being. No one is going to be happy all of the time, but you can choose to be happy as often as you possibly can be.

For me, I am happiest when I am worshipping with God, but happiness comes in lots of forms. Just like you find joy in playing the piano, that's a happiness that someone like me who can't play an instrument doesn't know. You were happy when you pulled off leading that project, when no one else would step up to the plate and that's great. It doesn't always have to be white picket fences and 2.3 kids to be defined as happiness. And I don't plan on being broke all the days of my life, but I promise you I won't be unhappy when I attain more wealth. So if no one else is rich and happy, I know that I will be.

Stop looking at all the ways other people are happy and look on the things that make you happy.
I don't want you to settle for being miserable. There are too many great things in this world for you to have resigned yourself to being miserable already.
