The other day, I was talking to someone and was accused of judging people on money. I was talking to someone about someone else. I said “he should have married Cindy because she was nice and from a rich family. It’s too bad because he ended up later with someone else who is just OK in comparison.” Sometimes people pass on a good opportunity and never find better, so they settle for less. Thinking about what could have been is one source of regret and unhappiness.
My experience is that people who say they don’t care about money actually do care a lot, but not directly. They care about social standing. But that’s what sophisticated people do.
The source of unhappiness is comparing yourself against others who have more. If you do that, it’s your damn fault.[/quote]
It’s fair to say humans only exist in relation to other humans.
