Well to plays devils advocate, there are people who actually inherit such fortunes and never actually lifted a finger to earn it and also lead happy and fulfilling lives.


I don't think I need to bring up the "no one said life was fair" debate. For you to be able to complain about it online thru a computer means you're pretty well off than perhaps 50% or more of the people in this world and you should appreciate it because I know that a lot of people would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

No, much more than 50%: Global Rich List

That's why I said "or more"... I don't really know the real statistics, Ijust knew we're more better off than we may think.

 

[Gerbil333]

Yeah, but 50% vs. top 0.75% is a huge difference so I thought I'd throw that out there to help you out.

Life is unfair. I don't have a very good life, but I have it better than some people. I do long for a better life but don't know how to achieve it. I would probably settle for close family.

money =/= happiness

MONEY DOES BUY HAPPINESS AND LOVE JUST NOT TRUE LOVE...

I just don't like the idea of everything that happens to us in life being random occurences. I'll probably never really get an answer to my questions, it's just about having faith in your beliefs I guess.

You are in the top 12.83% richest people in the world.
There are 5,230,168,175 people poorer than you.

:Q

I mean, I *know* most of the world makes less than I do, but DAMN...

Exactly.... sooooo if you really want to live like the rich people you only envy about then I'd suggest working for another couple of years more and then retiring to piss poor country where a beer costs 2 cents

Beer costs TWO CENTS?! Holy hell. I could take the money in my couch and do that now :Q

I'd be in HEAVEN.

While others have so little? It just doesn't seem fair sometimes. Hell, just look at that Bar Mitvah thread with that father spending a ridiculous amount of money having big bands perform. There are people out there who work their entire life and don't make the money that was spent in one day. It's not just money either... it can be intelligence, looks, health, etc. I believe in God, but it's just hard to understand why he created people who seem to luck out on everything, while others seem to get the brunt end of the stick.

Materialistic imbalances are nothing compared to what some peoples problems are. Look at accident victims, paralyzed people, kids born with PDD's, disfigured kids, now that's not fair. But that's life, and if there's a heaven in the afterlife, those who struggle will be rewarded. It sounds cheesy now, but when your on that deathbed, it's all you got.
