Well maybe we are close to the truth...money does not make you happy but thinking what you would do with it if you had it does
.
Without struggle it is hard to get out of bed
...
Having spent time in the Family Court (at Parramatta) one got to see all the strife over money...and the irrational things folk did so that the other half..seeking to be a whole... did not get any... One chap hired a buldozer and drove it thru the family home so the wife would not get it
... shame he did not think of how that must have crushed his kids at the same time..
I dont know who deserved the most pity in that event..the wife , the kids or that poor man consumed with hate for someone he once no doubt loved.
AND one must think of Sir Paul and how even though he has been a success ..such that he has received such a high recognition once only given to controllers of lands for the Crown..now endures the realisation that many will see him as foolish that he thought money would not enter his love life.
I hope he can be happy with the little he has left
.
When in Law (and also in real estate to a lesser degree) much of the work came from money disputes.. some from greed to have more and some like the above ..very sad...the work not that I got out
It was having to support greedy people and being their tool of exploitation that drove me out of the game at a shop front level... now if I like you I will help you and there are not many in that dept
.
I like to keep as poor as I can really because in so many cases the money is indeed the root of the evil... no one will sue me for anything simply because the cupboard is rather bare er bear maybe the new word of the day
...
Great posts from all
.... and one thing is for sure all the money in the world does not open the sky for you.... and if you can see what we all love to see being out there with just 7 x 50 binos is better than an appartment in New York or a boat in the Greek Islands I reckon.
So it is still wet here
...so if I won even without a ticket at present in my pocket I would get on the phone to the guy at Byron who has the helicopter service and fly out of here ...
