It's a sad thing indeed. But, can we use this as an ambition to become the "mega rich" ? I think so.
I was doing a nice 120mph (t-tops off) weave through traffic today, and, sure enough, I was happy with my car and the fun I was having, but couldn't help thinking.....people see me fly by and go "cool car!"...but they aren't going "daaaamn thats a lamborghini flying by!!".
So, is being only somewhat happy by mediocre (as i would define it) materialism a blessing by encouraging you to do more and to make more and to become more?
Is it? (for once I can't answer this question with certainty).
Sure I have a substance filled girlfriend but that doesnt make me happy enough either. 250 million plus has gotta be the ending point, where i can say, YES, I can buy anything I want and I have most certainly "made it". Everything else is just extra (woman who loves me for me etc), I got what I came for. No?
wierd thread i gues... leave that to my sunday night rantings.
Thoughts/comments?
