A Good Day or a Bad Day ?

Let's say there's a particular day in your life. On this day you find out that you have just won over One Billion Dollars. Either through the lottery, or some raffle at work, or you were in some rich person's will.


On that same day, however, you find out someone you love dearly dies.




Is this a good day, or a bad day ? And why ?

Depends on who it was. If it was my wife, children, siblings, or parents, close friends, and grandparents, no amount of money would make me feel better for a while. If it was anyone else, it would be good day because I don't know them that well and it wouldn't sting as much.


Still, the day is bittersweet to a degree regardless.

Quark_666
Immediate family, grandparents, immediate cousins, and a few secondary cousins would all qualify to make it a bad day. Maybe about 25 of my other acquaintances could have the same effect. That's upward of 150 people. I can't believe I haven't had an awful day yet.

SpearofDestiny
I think I agree with Dadudedemon...


It depends who you ask. A good day or bad day is simply a subjective perspective.

Deja~vu
Bittersweet is a good word to use, as was mentioned.

What a drag.

Mindship
To lose someone you truly love dearly is a bad day. The impact of that tangible loss will exceed the shock of winning an unimaginable amount of money.

SpearofDestiny
Well, let me reword it then:



If you lost a relative, like a mother, father, or sibling...or a boyfreind or girlfreind....the same day you win a billion dollars- what kind of day is that ?

I don't think there is a real answer.

It just depends on the person who experiences it. The same situation is different for every individual.




besides....people all over the world lose loved ones everyday. It's nothing unique. I think for those who suffer this in poverty, the suffering may be a tad bit more extreme than those who are wealthy...just a thought. I could be wrong.

id throw the money away cause it wud remind me of the loss. its definately a bad day.

SpearofDestiny
Well, I think it's universal that anyone who loses someone they love will suffer.


However, people cope differently. Some people can move forward much better than others. Many factors play into this, including various life situations such as: self confidense, social relations, and finances.

Many things contribute to one's happiness/stability besides relations with loved ones.


I personally think it would be much easier for a person who loves thier job, makes a lot of $$$, and has plenty self confidense to cope with the death of a dear loved one, then a person who makes very little money, is in massive debt, hates the way he/she looks, has poor relations with other people, has almost no freinds, etc.

The death of a loved one for the second person would probably cause far more trauma than for the first person.

... what the hell will throwing the money away accomplish? if they did not die because of the money then i don't see the point at all.

Mindship
If I may: Of those responding, how many have actually lost a dearly loved one? Who here speaks from experience of such loss rather than imagining what it would be like, pitting that against imagining sudden wealth?

I wonder which celebrities who have lost parents at a young age, I wonder if they would trade all their wealth and fame to have their loved one back.

SpearofDestiny
Fortunately, I have not yet lost a family member to death. The closest thing I can say is losing partners that I have loved due to various circumstances. But I doubt it's the same feeling.


However, I can assure you.....winning over a billion dollars will CERTAINLY take a load of stress off my life, and i would rather be in a situation where i lose someone I love but gain that extant of financial security, then lose someone I love in my current state of affairs.

High Priest
It wud be hard to say if someone died like in my family it wud be sad cus they are my family so i say a bad day .but the money that i won wud cheer me up in the later weeks ahead.

Indeed. I would rather lose a loved one and still have the $billion then lose the loved one and not have the $billion--as long as they are completely unrelated events. Otherwise, I'd rather lose the $$$ if it meant I could keep my loved one.

*wipes aware tears*

I didn't know you felt so strong about me. cry

But yeah....I agree.

inimalist
I think a major part of this would also be tied up in how the person went.

If my mother was suffering with cancer, the loss may be very hard, but the idea that she is not suffering any more would be positive, and in a long term situation like that, many people are able to come to grips, to some degree, with the loss, and it may soften to blow.

That being said, having a billion dollars on the same day I lose a loved one would be tragic. Heroin addiction 101.

Yeah, there's that part too. There are times people around me have died and I was glad they died. Not because I didn't love them. They were in this life in a bad way, being tortured by their existence. Death was mercy.

So it seems so far that everyone realizes that it is the perception of the day, and not the day itself. The day itself is neutral, while the reaction is what determines whether or not this day is good or bad.

Anyway, I'd see it as a bad day, however, I probably wouldn't show it because I had all that money.

Well, the people I love were bound to die sooner or later, that I get a billion is pretty extraordinary though.

lol, awww, both condescending and pseudo-deconstructionist

how about we go even further, days don't really exist, and any measure of time is relative, thus days cannot even be neutral. The only places days exist are in our subjective interpretation of long periods of time and based on our patter seeking abilities mixes with light/dark cycles.

In this vein, days are exactly what we interpret them to be, and thus, are good or bad depending on how it is interpreted.

Oh god post-modernism is such a BS philosophy sometimes

I can both agree and laugh at that... does that make me a terrible person, finding joy in the misfortune of others, or is that just another "perception" thing?

A good day.

Your loved one moved on from this idiotic world we all love and cherish, into whatever else is out there. They no longer have to suffer(As we all hope.)

But from my perspective, a good day.

I would consider it a bad day. A billion dollars is excellent and radically improving to a life, but when someone you care for has lost theirs...

It would be a bad day.

that may be because one of the issues with homeless people is that they have lost the support of the family/social/community. Losing a family member who has thrown you onto the street isn't going to be that big of a deal.

Also, when one is addicted to drugs, their cost/benefit ratio is really messed up. mental health issues would probably play a large role.

I'm sure there are homeless people who prefer homeless life over luxury. Flower children didn't completely disappear with the 70s. Or at least as far as I know.

I don't think that is mutually exclusive from mental handicap or mental disorder

but point taken. I'd say more are likely as I described. This may just be my experience, I am from Ontario, and the weather here is cold. I know even in Vancouver, where there isn't as much snow, there are more homeless, and possibly more there by choice, whereas those who are crazy are less mobile? lol

That exact scenario was the premise for an old episode of The Twilight Zone, and then it was used in the 90's horror flick Wishmaster.

So the next time you try to look like a deep thinker, at least be original.

i think it'd still be a good day. 100 % serious.

it'll be a painful day but in the long run you'll be better off that way. not that you don't love your loved one but you have to think about it in the long term. everybody dies. life doesn't last forever, and can't be infinitely prolonged. money can. you get a billion dollars then unless your name is mc hammer you and yours are pretty much set for life. if you put your money in the right places your grandkid's grandkid's grankid is going to benefit from that day. shit i think even the person who died would've agreed it's a good day.

the sadness that you feel for your loved one wont be lessened but you can hold onto their memories and know that it was their time to go and, if it didnt happen that day it was just going to happen some other day.

okay i wudnt throw the money away, id give em a proper funeral and give a lot of the money to their family/kids if they had em then give the rest away to charity.

Sure, i mean i would not choose money over any life. Although, if i happened to win a Billion dollars on the death day of a loved one. I would probably be more focused on the money. That person is gone, of course im going to mourn, but having won a Billion dollars. My life would change in a monumental way. MY dreams and materialistic desires could be achieved at any moment. I would, for all intents and purposes, have a new life. The new life would help keep me from dwelling on the dead. I would not be projecting my problems and woe's on the death my loved one, as many people do when they lose a loved one. I would have no more problems from my "old life".

Edit- bojankies.

I'm sure in all the same non-lame, holding-on-to-mormonism-when-I'm-just-one-unanswered-prayer-away-from-atheism kind of way. The outstanding reality? That our parents, at least in my case, provided a lot more than religion or superficial responsabilty. My parents provided my understanding for what a relationship is and what unfettered love should be, as flawed as it was. If you didn't get that from your parents, then I question why their religion is an impetus for your holding on to it while so close to the cusp of atheism while assuming that your marriage is something to be considered enviable. I'm sure that's because what any child gets from his parents isn't really their perspective on religion, and more what they get from their approach to unyeilding responsability...devotion. There is no measure of loyalness exemplified by kowtowing to your parent's perspective. The best we can do is learn from theirs and build on it.

(What service is paid to them by bending knee thoughtlessly and not extrapolating their own answers? It pays little respect to their journey, much less your own. Many people encounter certainty from our parents perspective because, in turn, their parents died, and they hold it so dear out of obligation and remorse)

Anyone who finds 1 billion dollars a sound replacement for their parent's presence in their lives gets no respect from me.

It is a word I made up a long time ago. Robtard loves this about me. This word in the dictionary of dadudemon, means "a language that you speak and write fluently but cannot figure out what is meant in that language...comparable to the word 'gibberish' or 'gobbledygook'".

If you didn't understand a colloquial saying or idiom, you would say..."damn, are you speaking bojankies or something?" It is not gibberish because you know and can spell the words being used. It is not gobbledygook because you can make out the words. Therefore, a new word had to be invented to describe what I was looking for.


Also, as part of a habit, I randomly say the word "bojankies" just to amuse myself.

That was the intention of posting the word "bojankies"...not to say anyone was speaking "bojankies".

assuming that wasnt a sarcastic reply....

the thing is, that often, people are OK with the status quo, as long as the familiar/secure equilibrium of their life isnt threatened, they feal secure. money can often provide this security and people say that they are happy with the money. take this example for instance, if you were to ask an average young party animal if partying/sleeping around makes him/her happy, they would probably answer that it does. the same with asking a plastic cheerleader if cheerleading/makeup/clothes and the attention of boys and being bitchy makes them happy. both will almost definately answer in the affirmitive. this is because society around them not only has taught them these ideals of happiness from a young age, but also, made them feal fearful/ashamed by the prospect of NOT being happy when they have these things. it is this conditioning which makes people say that they are happy/excited with their life. MOST people when asked the question of what they actually want in this life, will generally answer in terms of power/money/social security/influence /respect etc. but really in my oppinion, most of these people dont really want that, infact they have never really thought outside the said ideals/fear taught by society and go for what THEY truly want. infact, most of them dont even buy the things they buy for personal comfort, but as a statement of them being rich, fromt their houses to their furniture/cars etc etc. they are too AFRAID to like anything else, or atleast, like anything else in preference to huge quantities of money. this is exactly the reason that questions like the title of this thread work and are made. truly, its a guilt trip for most of us isnt it. even though we are NOT thinking of all the HAPPINESS we can buy out of the things we got for the billion or so dollars as opposed to the happiness we lose fromt he person dying{which is what we SHOULD be weighing} we are just GREEDY, desiring/lusting out of money for no purpose but to have money.

it comes to the concept of greed. which in my oppinion is like desire, which grows exponentiall when you look at what MORE you can gain out of it. its works as an exponential function of sorts. since irrespective of how much of the said thing{money/candy etc} one gains, it isnt really what they need/want/desire. but a person is blinded by just how much MORE of the said quantity he can get with taking the same step in time/effort{a bit like why extremely wealthy businessmess continue on with ever greater money making endevours when thy have more than enough to live on in luxury}. basically, the increasing rate of what can be earned in said quantity bypasses and supressed any thought of WHY the person wants the said quantity in the first place. just like the greed of a billion dollars is seeming SO much more significant than losing a loved one to some people here.

money can never EVER even come close to replacing a loved one.

Well, I was assuming it was a "It's a word that means when you ask what it means you lose and I win and I trapped you and I am smart and that one time I told an overly specific, yet incredibly dull anecdote, no, wait a minute I do it all the time". You know, one of your typical little games?

I guess it wasn't too far off anyways.

Yes, I will give you "overly specific". In my defense, defining an invented word, thoroughly, should be a must. If one does not define their invented word, they risk the word being be a copy of another word. Originally, when I typed out my reply, my definition resembled "gobblygook" too much. So I had to expand my definition as a means of differentiation.

Oh...right right...."idiot" is what you like to use.

I posted a random word just to be "goofy". I didn't expect anyone to care what it meant. I have done it before and no one cared so you can understand that I didn't think it would matter. I am sure you do things that are goofy, sometimes...randomly repeat words or non-words just out of goofiness. I am also sure there are idiotic ideals that you hold.

Do you have a poor sense of taste or do you genuinely find most food likable/tolerable?

I read, a long time ago, that people who have a broad palate actually have relatively poor sense of taste.

Bardock42
I don't have any taste buds. In fact...I don't have a tongue.

I am serious with you sometimes, about none ridiculous topics. Usually end up thinking that you are an idiot...also calling you that.

I do have a tongue, though, I am sure if you research a bit you will find pics of it on the Internet.

Well, food, for me, is not a non-ridiculous topic. I love food. I love it a bunch. I would use the billion dollars on the day of the death to make sure I could eat delicious foods the rest of my life. Right now, I am on a Taco Bell and Philly cheese steak obsession.

I enjoy food too. Eating as well as processing it. But speculating about whether a person I really don't know enjoys tuna or fruit cocktails from a tin, is, by all standards, a joke topic.


Also, I ****ing love Philly Cheesesteaks, can't get them anywhere here. Nor can you really get the bread, or the cheese that easily to make it yourself.

I am dead serious. I think there are sites for that. Also, don't worry, cheating on your wife with a gay man doesn't count. It's a loophole in the system.
