If you had to ask me, I'd rather be poor than rich. To explain my point, consider this:
If you give one hundred dollars to a rich man, how will he react?
He's rich, what does he care? If anything, the money will be collecting dust in a bank safe somewhere downtown.
If you give the same amount of money to a poor man, how will he react?
This is the first time he's ever had this much money. He will be very thankful and use the money to buy food and stuff to make him and his family happy.
Life's treasures are most precious to someone who has nothing, because he is always hoping for a better tomorrow. But, what good does life's treasures do if you have everything? If you have everything, you will lose your values and begin to believe that you are better than everyone else.
When you get right down to it, sometimes the happiest people in the world are those who come home everyday smelling up to high heaven, and the most miserable people in the world are those whose office is at the top of a 30 story building. So, just think about that next time you buy that lottery ticket.
