dptstretch I'm glad to find this discussion. I've been thinking about finding a site that rewards with Amazon Gift cards since I am an Amazon junkie when I can afford it :)

If you were to make decisions in your life..would you rather be happy but wrong? or sad but right? what do you think?

5 responses

dptstretch As I get older, I place far more value on doing the right thing. So I'd rather be sad but right. I don't always do the right thing...I screw up as much as anyone else. But through all the trials and life experiences, I am convinced that there is never a wrong...

Wealth or Health? Which would you choose

asxenon @asxenon (1440) • Malaysia 19 Aug 10

In this society, people is becoming more and more materialistic. Do you think money is really that important... so much important that you would trade anything else for it? I think heath is much more important than wealth....

health

wealth

dptstretch The way I look at is that if I have my health, I can pursue wealth if I want to. If I have wealth, I may or may not be able to pursue health...even getting the best care is no assurance if you have something incurable. So I have to choose health over wealth.

dptstretch no problem...honestly...I'm not sure how big the problem is now. I might be over-thinking it a bit...the timing of my response was a little uncanny. I'm hopeful that it works out okay...but I guess time will tell :)

dptstretch I think the same way sometimes. I have one mistake that is almost so bad that I dare not mention it. I will mention only because it may help someone else. I have a daughter who is 28 that I have not seen since she was five...because I didn't do the right...
