A Good Day or a Bad Day ?

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.

Bad day. Very very bad. For me at least.

But I'd give them a Hollywood funeral.

... 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.

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.

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.

Good.

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

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

Obviously, the joy of being a billionaire and being able to afford a 50 $10,000 a night hookers for an orgy at every whim, would be (temporarily) squashed by the death of a dearly loved one.

Haha, you ripped that guy a new one.

His ******* is looser than a clown's pocket, no ripping going on there; I don't care how hung Inimalist is either.

Welll, I said a new one, now he has a less loose one next to his channel tunnel. I assume he will actually like it, but he should be at least a bit embarassed about being shown to be a pseudo-intelectuall phony moron.

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?

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 ?

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.

BAD DAY.....money is just money, you cant replace a loved one.

I know. You can't replace a loved one.

But a billion dollars doesn't hurt anyone 😛

But If you talk to a homeless person, I am sure they will argue with you that being poor and homeless is a greater suffering than losing a family member. Just my opinion.

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.
