There has been enough written & discussd about the paradoxes of life, most see & agree; however few recognize & change. In my living current paradox is: 'commerce of life'. Simply, how much of your life is about sustainaing life itself, and how big should your wealth be to allow you to 'posses' items / opportunities /conveniences to sustain your life. However, if you posses things, or they posses you is a matter of separate deliberation.
There is no absolute correlation on high wealth & more happiness, so do many survey also prove & many living experiences around you. However, no one can deny there is a balance somewhere to be found. What is that balance for you?
Proven in economics and otherwise is how people who love to do what they do, earn more and live happier than people who do what they don't want to do, but still do to sustain commerce of life. The learning of life itself is and has to be a lot larger than what we view of ourselves and are made to see by 'conventional wisdom'.
Hope to front only essential facts of life.. not to practice resignation & reducing commerce to a very small part of life comes soon for many.
Question: "How much money do you need to do what you really want to do? & if you need any?"
