You should be happy. If.....

[flobadob]

You are not flooded out of your home
You are not living in a shack
You are not starving
You are in a house having internet
etc.

it is most definitely not that simple, if it were we would do it. Life can be a living hell, even with all modern day trappings.

[jake-the-peg]

Do you notice how most of the things you 've listed are material?

Thing is about happiness it's a state of mind not a destination

If a poor miserable person wins the lottery pretty soon they're a rich miserable person worrying about their health, whether people just like them for their money or other things money can't buy.

I agree with Budhists on this one - the source of misery is desire

[Zacs-Master]

Desire is the luxury of an economically developed nations populace. Those without the basic necessities of food, shelter or sanitation cannot even conceive of desire. These are basic needs, not desires.

If only life was so simple....

Actually on thinking about it, I am quite offended by the OP's statement....let's say my child was abducted, raped and murdered, yet I am rich. Should I say oh well, I must be happy because I am still rich?

[flobadob]

woofgang, I didn't mention anything about being rich. What the hell are you on about.
