I have been thinking about what makes people feel rich and contented? Is it money? No, money is only a tool that gives us choice. Is it choice that makes people feel rich? Maybe, but if I like what I am doing and I know I have what I want, then why do I need choices? Then maybe the answer is being you want to be and doing what you want to do. But this keeps changing with time. Hence you need money to accomodate your changing needs. Which is probably why money makes people feel rich.
I always used to think that you feel rich by spending/giving and not by earning. In fact earning makes me feel poor, cause many a times I do things I don't wanna do, just for the money. I think we are making a compromise here: you give sometime to earn money, during which you feel poor, and the rest of the time you spend it, during which time you feel rich, cause you have the choice of what to do with the money. Which is probably why I am doing whatever it is that I am doing.
If the way I have posed by arguments remind any of you of Calvin, well, yes, I have been reading a lot of Calvin and Hobbes lately :-)
Have a great Weekend all of ya...
