Money isn't everything

(I could never even dream to argue the point as well as Seneca, so I won't attempt to)

It's a good felling to enjoy your freedom and money when you're young instead of working 10-12 hours per day.

actually the two best things that come from money are IMO security and freedom
+ the respect of others ( for insecure people )

But the security that money can offer is just false security, because even the most excessive wealth can not prevent bad fortune, and if one is too strongly attached to wealth, it rather creates a feeling of insecurity than one of security. As for freedom, the freedom money can buy is a very limited, material one, and if it is achieved in exchange for a more fundamental kind of freedom, is anything at all won? I would argue that the man who cares little about material fortune is both more secure and free than he who shapes his life around those things.

Here is an interesting story:
--------------------------- A boat docked in a tiny foreign village. A business tourist complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the fisherman. "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American. The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The tourist asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a nap with my wife. In the evenings I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life." The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you. You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to a big city. From there you can direct your huge enterprise." "How long would that take?" asked the fisherman. "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the tourist. "And after that?" "Afterwards? That's when it gets really interesting," answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a nap with your wife, and spend your evenings playing the guitar with your friends!"

Anyone who says money can't buy happiness is either flat broke or doesn't know where to shop

Here's a better one. Tourist asks the fisherman," what happends if after all those years of catching just enough to live on and napping with his wife, your boat sinks and you no longer can catch fish and have no extra to fall back on?" "thats easy" says the fisherman, "my family and I all die"

But you're missing the point: the question is not of having money or not, but of what you value in life, and what for. Attaching too much value to money, whether you have it or not, leads to a wretched life.

that said, the point it tries to make is invalid. so few people attach so much value to money that it hurts the other things they value. Most people making the point try to blur the line between the minutely small number of people who value money above all else with successful people who strive to have money, the last thing in *their* life they are missing (already having life's other important things)

I never said the word "enough" so I'm at a loss to what you're actually asking me. my position is, having money is always better than not having money.

I agree with Seneca when he says that most men guard their possessions with great fierceness, yet waste their days as if they were immortal. Quote:
I think that today's society in fact does value money above all else (that is to say, on one scale... on another sex, or attractiveness, is valued above all else). How many people don't spend their lives longing for material possessions? The word "buy" produces 766 million results on Google, 5 times as many as the word "love" and 10 times as many as the word "sex". Money and possessions, to a healthy mind, are means to ends, not ends in themselves.

punkworld,
Don't you think a man with money can watch his BIG SCREEN PLASAMA with his children? Or do you think rich people can't play with children while watching his big screen tv? Can poor people play with their children while watching his big screen TV? ![]()

It's a piece of the puzzle in our daily lives. Not everything. You have to balance out money with your other priorities, and personal happiness.
