MONEY


It can buy a House..............But not a Home


It can buy a Bed..................But not Sleep


It can buy a Clock................But not Time


It can buy you a Book..........But not knowledge


It can buy you a Position.....But not Respect


It can buy you Medicine........But not Health


It can buy you Blood.............But not Life


It can buy you Sex................But not Love


So you see money isn't everything.

And it often causes pain and suffering.

I tell you all this because I am your friend,

and as your friend I want to take away

Your pain and suffering...

So send me all your money...
And I will suffer for you.


CASH ONLY PLEASE!!!

so overall, money can't buy happiness...

"Fill the void in your life with a product"

well, maybe a delusion of happiness, tho i can't think of a clever little thingy like Hanxter has done....

I sawn this nice little documentary about epicurus and his philosophy on happiness, and this advertising company had this really clever idea of a picture of this beautiful mansion it was selling, and in the corner, like they somtimes put "batteries not included" on kids toys and such, they had "happiness not included".
i thought it was extremly clever, mainly because it was so true.

"It can buy a House..............But not a Home"

I agree with all those sayings but this one

Sleepyjack

whys that?
a house is a building out of materials such as concrete, bircks, wood etc all quantifiable.

a home is built by family relations (or the people you share the house with), memories etc all qualitative

basically there is this pattern, or notation that you can only buy tangible, quantitaive things (hence a price tag to value it) but it can't buy other intangible, qualitative and abstract things. All those mastercard adds use this idea. If something is priceless, then it can't be bought by money.

i just thought of another one, which may be apt.

It can buy food........But not a meal

Sun Tzu

I'll have to post that on my ceiling above my bed so its the first and last thing I see each day. (The first part)

Hanxter is that your work? It really has my head spinning. The first part is so true, but so is the last. Which overall isnt a pleasant thought; but it seems to be the way things are. I strive to evolve to what I consider a higher mindset to be, but the deep seeded programs I have going on are so centralized around money.

I wonder if Shaolin Monks have a happy life.

Barrett Strong---Money (That's What I Want)

The best things in life are free
Fm
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees;

Now give me money, (that's what I want) that's what I want,
(That's what I want) That's what I want (That's what I want) yeah,
That's what I want.

Your lovin' give me such a thrill,
But your lovin' don't pay my bills;

(refrain)

Money don't get everything it's true,
What it don't get I can't use;

(refrain)

Well, now give me money, (That's what I want)
A lotta money, (That's what I want)
Oh yeah, I wanna be free, (That's what I want)
Oh, lotta money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want) yeah,
That's what I want.

Well, now give me money, (That's what I want)
A lotta money, (That's what I want)
Wo, yeah, You need money (That's what I want)
Gimme money, (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)
That's what I want.

I'm reminded of a skater friends mantra, "Less is more. Stay pure. Stay poor." As a Communications Major in college, I should be the happiest and purest man alive someday!

No, but only because they can transcend happiness. The awful side of happiness is that eventually it becomes boring and repetetive. Enlightenment frees a person from that and the ennui of the normal emotional cycle of life.

One positive side of money: it can stop boredom.
