The whole purpose of getting up each day would be totally taken away. <br /><br />Everyone needs to do something worthwhile and charity work would be essential, even if you didn't need to work for money.<br />It would be like living in a void..... not knowing who your true friends were. These two didn't seem to have ANY friends in the first place. Not helping family seems very mean indeed.They will probably receive no help from them when they are old and decrepit.<br />They probably felt happier when working as cleaners.<br />In any case money cannot buy happiness and it can't add on an extra day of life..... nor can you take it with you when you go.<br />Nope...... we are better off living a more lowly life! Its one thing to be thankful for!<br />Maggie X<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-46875597580507569782011-08-19T21:00:35.109+01:002011-08-19T21:00:35.109+01:00Eck.
