Pursuit of Happiness
It just occurred to me when I had given somebody dear to me a bunch of excess dolls I had recently acquired for a business transaction.This person dear to be has been struggling financially pretty much all of her life.
She calls me today, all excited. Hey...I just sold one of those dolls...well, she goes on to explain, actually just the clothes off it for over $100.00. She says, I will give you half. I tell her, no,no no, rack up the dollars. In fact, I have some more dolls I am bringing over today. She was very happy.
Here is what occurred to me:
Do people who have excessive greed inhibit the ability for others to achieve happiness?
Think about that for a moment.
This virus situation actually kinda makes this prevalent.
People are living paycheck to paycheck...many with no excess money to actually take a break from the hustle and bustle they have been thrown into with capitalism.
Yet....these extremely wealthy people are passing on their extreme wealth to their next of kin...and their businesses are keeping people financially on their knees.
Now, we can fool ourselves into believing that money cannot buy you happiness...but it sure makes the "pursuit of happiness" more possible. (at least in a capitalistic world)
Happy Wednesday all.
