For those who believe money can buy happiness...did you ever saw anybody dying?

Can money save him from death?

Did you ever see somebody depressed from losing a big love or family member?

Offer him money do you think he/she will thank you and smile?

I agree that money can get you lots of thinks...like a good life, good education for your kids, luxury to have holidays etc that will give you and your family and friends a smile...but happiness is something beyond that.

I learn from the kids that an ice-cream less than £1 in a playground with your family and friends while you are healthy can make you more happy than an expensive car and a luxury house to the best area and a big bank account at the bank while you are alone in life and sick.

I agree with abserver...being able to see your children (in my case my brother who is like my son) growing up in joy, healthy and strong gives you happiness. I agree with Eric Dayi (are you feeling ok by the way :wink:) that being able to go to bed without fears, learning from others, passing your knowledge to others, putting knowledge to good use, seeing smile on the face of your family and friends, sitting anywhere is this planet and enjoying a moment with a song from their heart etc

Some people find happiness in expensive restaurant...some others with a simple sandwich
Some people find happiness in big bank accounts...some others just being able to pay all the debts and live with simple things
Some people find happiness with very expensive holidays which last 1 month...some others are happy with a weekend near the beach or up in the mountain
Some are happy with a phone call telling them that they win the lottery...and some others are happy with a phone call that somebody who is far away from them call to see if they are ok
Some are women are happy with expansive rings and flowers...and some others with a kiss, one flower and 3 words :wink:
Some men are happy because they got an expensive car ... and some because their son got an A in school
Some are happy with champaign...and some others with a glass of a cheap but good wine
Some are happy with a song from their favorite singer and being very close to him/her...some other are happy singing that song in the beach with their voice

Should I move on or you got my picture

Thank you :oops:

Welcome back to the UK Lena.
Unfortunately life without health is part of life for many people . The fact is both the rich and the poor can have bad health , the difference however is that having money can make the life of your loved one a little more comfortable physically and mentally , the ability to provide that special event that can make a loved one happy and content in most cases costs money. Try hitchhiking to Cyprus to visit your family if you are not well and have no money, and nobody will tell me that staying in a bed and breakfast in Heroes Square is as good as a 5 star hotel. Whether we like it or not money is important , very important . Heating to keep you warm in the winter months , air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer , A nice comfortable car to take the family on trips without the fear of it breaking down and the ability to enjoy a good restaurant and above all a good bottle of wine.
I have enjoyed some fabulous meals at small tavernas and have enjoyed some exquisite meals at some of London's top restaurants both enjoyable , which would I prefer ?? Both of course !
