Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Buddha, all had one thing in common. They were rich. They were wealthy and influential men. So why were they unhappy? What was their problem?
I have often wondered if it isn't the most incredible insult to humanity that even when it comes to being unhappy and unfulfilled, some rich guy has to be the major authority on the subject. Don't the poor get anything that they can be the experts on? Shouldn't rich people be obligated to pretend to be happy? It is not something that anyone can enforce, but it seems to me that there should be some kind of rule that whiny rich people should be disqualified from writing books, philosophies, or religions about their spiritual growth. Rich people should be automatically presumed to be happy and lacking the ability for spiritual growth. Only the poor have the right to be unhappy, and they should be the only ones who can grow spiritually. ------------------------ Yahoo!
