I often ask myself that question and would usually not arrive at an honest answer. But would i sound greedy to say that what readily comes to my mind is that all i want is a little more than i can ever get?

Pitgull I agree with you. I believe education is the answer to many of the worlds problems. Sadly, this in itself is a catch-22. When people are informed they make decisions based more on fact, than personal opinion. They have a realistic idea of what "reality"...

purple_2387 I agree. Money may give us happiness but it's temporary, real happiness is what we do out of the money we have. If we use it for good and not for greed.
