A Good Day or a Bad Day ?

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.

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.

a billion dollars?

Ill be mourning the loss in my new Ferrari.

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 ?

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

Good.

With that much money I could buy new family.

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 would say very bad day and give them a hell of a good funeral

I don't think I was born yet when Twilight Zone regularly aired on Television. So, sorry I was unaware.

I wasn't trying to come off as a deep thinker. I'm a ****ing kid. I have an idea, and I like to present it. Success of failure with the idea is not my concern. Only discussion is.

If you don't appreciate the thread, then don't participate, but please refrain from speaking to me like a condescending old fart. Thanks.

You're not a "kid" anymore. You're a grown man.

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.

much like: Just because the question sounds profound, doesn't mean it should be answered.

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.
