I speak in generalities because this is no place to write a book. People who drink dull their senses and they do it to be more happy. ret*d people seem like the happiest bunch of sweethearts. If the meaning of life is to be happy then think of all the ways people try to make themselves happy. People who do not find meanings interesting strike me as dullards. Sometimes I act like a dumb blonde because life is more fun that way but I don't find life more meaningful when I engage in that sort of behavior. There is more to life than kicks. Money doesn't buy happiness, yadda yadda...


The old platitude that money doesn't buy happiness with the implicit reverse that a lack of money does not bring misery is a trap. Money lack is a major cause of misery in the world when it cannot supply basic essentials. Money as the only goal in life is probably a waste of a life but a lack of money, like a lack of air, is not something to neglect. Pardon me for being obvious.
