Lesson No. 1. Get someone to screw you over, then sue the shit out of them. Works like a charm.

You realise that entails taking their money, therefore everything alturistic you have said is a farce.

Nope, not if they screwed you over and you were unaware of it.

That showed me

And once you investigated it you found out you'd be rich!!

The dollar currency is too weak, I'd rather be rich in a more dominant currency.

Like elf tears?

Desire is important. Having nothing to aim for would suck.

Not necessarily.

not for sure, but it makes them more likely to occur. coming into absurd amounts of money sometimes changes people for the worse.

Ohhhhh I guess it comes back to that ol Bible saying As he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7)

uh oh.

Until we learn to appreciate and love what and who we already have, we will always want more...we will always be a slave to impulse and desire....

Why is everyone just using money? Too much pussy is bad. Too much of anything can turn into a bad thing if someone lets "x" determine their actions.

Money alone would not make me happy. Money is just about saying, "I have more than you," once you past tens of millions. Of course, people with absurd amounts (9 digits and above) also understand how capitalism and that they can only be rich if many are poor.

That dynamic shapes how many must view life - incentive is the most important thing.

Anything in abundance can become silly, but few people can handle mass amounts of certain things and stay the same.

Give me total control of the World, and I'll consider saying, "OK, no more."

Im happy with what I have. It took a while to realize how blessed I am. I have a roof over my head, food for nourishment and my girls are happy and healthy. Sure, money makes life easier sometimes but I dont feel the need to always want more.

As humans, is it in our nature to keep wanting more? How much is enough? When are we satisfied? Is there a certain point where we say "enough is enough?" What's your outlook on this?

Attachments lead to suffering. The more you want the more you suffer. The only way to brake this circle is to realize what we want is to be happy, and happiness cannot be found in things.

Precisely, sometimes. Not always.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY FOR SURE

You can only find it within your self.

Depends on how good it is, and how bad cold turkey is.
