    One person has money is happy
    One person has money is unhappy
    One person is poor and is happy
    One person is poor and is unhappy.

    All of the above scenarios are real, can be real. Is it the money or the person? It’s inside each and every one of us. Just like everything it ebbs and flows, but if you practice gratitude, serving your brothers and sisters, having a purpose bigger than the ugly mug in the mirror. It can flow more than it ebbs.

    Do you have children? Have some empathy.

    Studies compiled by MIT have shown that people whose brains immediately zero in on and subsequently react to the semantics of a statement, be it oral or written, are more likely to earn less than their peers over their earnings lifetime.

    So true. If you see around there are so many wealthy celebrities killed themselves in the past and will be killing themselves in the future as well while they still have millions in the bank.

    Now, the cash for life would come in very handy. It’s $1000/week for life :D.

  6. So if i wont pay my entire life's work to see a loved one for just one more day, I have no empathy? Fuck off. If you would do such you are a moron, if not you are a hypocrite or a liar for accusing me. Oh I thought of a 4th option, maybe you have so little savings in the world that this deal might actually make sense for you LOL.

    I'm only on this thread for entertainment, sometimes I'm in a mood to call out BS when I see it. I don't have some sort of semantic tourette's if that's what you're implying. Also, citation needed.

    No it’s about writing something about someone else’s situation and saying such a moronic thing. And I guess you don’t have kids. No worries bud. Have great day.

  10. I'm not the one who brought someone else's kid into this thread, maybe you should aim your armchair psychoanalyzing in the proper direction.
