are generally more happy in life? I do believe that money and beautiful face or attractive body do really carry with it many advantages than those who don't have them. and so in a way they get more attention and more friends and more beautiful things in life and they get more chance to get more work. And having money is really cool cause we can buy things easily and we don't have to force ourselves to work on menial job if we are rich or born rich or just lucky to be intelligent to earn more money.

There are a lot of ifs ands and buts. If I had a choice I would want enough money to live comfortably but not rich. I wouldn't want to be like or have my children turn out to be like britney spears or paris hilton. They have so much money they don't know what to do with it. It's almost like they are the ones that don't belong or fit in because the rest of us have to work and make a living.

yes you made a point. we just want to be rich or money but not to the point that we are extravagantly rich that we can't enjoy the simple life too. so it is not bad to be rich as long as not extremely rich .

At the end of the day - our happiness is not parallel to how much money, beauty or attraction we have. Every human being has unhappiness inside themselves...it just looks different. We have a fabulous group of women who meet regularly to discuss deep topics. One of them is a large, obese woman with a huge heart full of love. Another is a size 2 beauty, with the figure and looks of a goddess. They have learned through our conversations that each of them is a mirror for one another - they each have insecurities about their physical appearance. And these insecurities impact their approach to life. Neither beauty nor money equal happiness - and they don't always provide an "easier" way of life. In some cases, they make it more difficult to just "be" due to the stereotypes placed on them. Sometimes beauty and/or money are a handicap, as we tend to judge them as having everything and consequently resent their "fortune." We all have unhappiness, it's what we choose to do with it and how we learn to allow it to impact our lives that matters.

you made a valid point here. "Being able to put aside fears and insecurities ..... is key to finding happiness" that is what i want to happen or accomplish in life to conquer my fears. fear of being rejected or not measuring or not being accepted for what i am. if i can muster the courage i have in me and just to be myself whether i will be accepted or not and just be not much concerned on what people think of me that i can be more happy in life.

nice insight on what brings happiness. and yes beautiful people have their own problems but i guess it is just the way we live our lives that makes us more or less happy in life. but i can't really pinpoint what going to give more happiness and give more confidence in life. i think if i have more confidence whatever the source of confidence, can bring happiness to me.

I think you're right! "If I have more confidence....I'll have more happiness." For me - happiness is in knowing who you are, what you believe - and living by that without concern for how someone else perceives you. Being able to put aside fears and insecurities about our place in the world is key to finding happiness. Finding purpose in whatever I am doing RIGHT NOW makes me happy....

I think "beautiful" people are just plain LUCKY! Yes their looks may get them places, or have an easier life or marry into money. But you know that's part of life. Even if you spend a great deal of money it doesn't always make you the beautiful that society desires and you know what thats ok. Beauty isn't everything though Hollywood & other media outlets portray such things constantly. I feel as long as you look decent and take care of yourself you fit into society just fine, even if you do not have model looks or money. We can all aspire to be something we are not but in time we grow to accept things the way they are and do what is within our means.

I think we all go thru a journey of self discovery during many periods in our life. You have to find what's right for you. And remember that looks fade as we age but personality lasts. ((hugs))

yeah i just hope that i will just be able to accept my looks for what i am and not illusion to be someone so beautiful as other people are. hope to be happy as what i am now and be contented with it. right now i am just trying to look for something on my self and on my life that can be a source of contentment for me. but i have not found it yet though.

but it does not make things easier for me to know that beauty fades as we normally are obsessed with beauty being human.

I agree with the point tht they look great and they have a good physic also but that is not true hat they are very happy in their life. God has made us in such a way that everyone would have certain problems in their life. these problems work as a motivator for us and hence motivates us to do better and better every day. So, no one is happy be it a billinair or be it a beggar!

i wish i could say that it is always true that poor or rich are in equal footing in life. it seems that those who have better income and physical look are in better position in life and have more better things going on their way.

but let us not pick the really rich as example just any one who has enough money or salary to be able to buy things he can buy to live decently and afford to save enough for him or her to live in better life. don't you think that they are able to live happily that those who barely earn anything like poor people who just sell on the streets flowers and anything they can sell on the street. let us say a person is just person but has good looks don't you think that person will better off than those who don't have good looks . so i think they are in advantage in so many ways, and yes they can be in happy in life given those circumstances.

Let's take an example. A rich person's child will always be in danger of being abducted by someone for ransome money. A poor person will never had that kind of problem. A rich person will always be worried about his meals and will have several diseases waiting for him. A poor guy will never had that kind of problem. other hand, A poor guy will have a problem called financial crisis every moment in his life. A poor guy might not get a full stomach meal every day!

No I don't, because happiness is relative. For instance, if I woke up tomorrow morning a lot more beautiful than when I went to bed, obviously I would be really happy. But as time goes on it would become normal and I wouldn't get happiness from it. Kurt Cobain from Nirvana was rich when he killed himself, but he said he got more pleasure out of buying stuff when he had to save up for it.

kurt cobain is totally different. he is public limelight and so he had so much pressure in life. but for common people like us . people who are not celebrities who have money and beautiful i feel are happier in life. what i mean by beauty is not extremely beautiful like celebrities but beautiful enough to be attractive to some people. but if you are not attractive to almost any one at all then it will be such sad life.

This is a great discussion. With beauty and money also comes a lot of different responsibilites. Most rich beautiful people come from other rich beautiful people who hold them up to serious standards and put them on a pedistol. It's can be just as stressful to stay rich and beautiful as to get rich and beautiful. I don't think it's a real quick fix to lifes problems. I could imagine them being extreamely paranoid and unsure who their real friends are and whose just using them. The same probably goes for any relationship they have. It could just be as bad a situation as any normal human and maybe even a little worst if they are thrown into the lime light with it.

yeah, you have a good point . when we are beautiful people will expect us to be still remain beautiful as long as possible and when they don't see it for some time they will wonder if we still look great as before in case they get to see us. and so we have to maintain our healthy lifestyle to remain beautiful.

The rich and famous normally maintain their physical appearance by investing on beauty treatments to enhance their beauty. Though they might not be born beautiful but they can modify, upgrade their looks through the power of money. Even in their twilight years they still look stunning much to the envy of those younger people. But internally it can't be said anymore as it is aging and rotting away. It is only the outer appearance that money can camouflage.
@hotsummer (13835)

but what i am pointing out is that appearance has brought them much advantage early in life which they get to enjoy their life when they were young and unlike some people like me who were not able to enjoy life when i was young cause i don't have that. but it is only one of the reason and maybe not the only thing that contributed to what sadness i experienced in life.

those people must be happier than common people, but only a few people in the world are lucky enough to enjoy all of the things mentioned. to most people, they only have one of them or none of them. so those not so lucky people should know how to be happy without money or beautiful face or attractive body. that is, enjoy and value what you have.

yes not many people have all of them at the same time but i think that at least we get to reach some certain level in terms of money we have in life and beauty. and so many people still believe that their happiness depend on them.

hi hotsummer oh sure for awhile they may be more happy but things are always changing looks can disappear with age, and money gets spent while some of us with just fair looks and just barely enough money manage to be very happy. its up to each person how happy he or she is and has little to do with outer looks or how much money, it has to do with self worth. how you think of yourself.
@hotsummer (13835)

14 Sep 09
but i think that it has affect on us. the things we have the circumstances in life do affect our feeling of self worth. without those things we could just hardly depend on inner beauty to make us feel we are good enough.

Hi Hotsummer, Money is an important element in human's life. No Money No Talk,does it works in this way? Money will make people life can go on freely and happily. With lots of money, we can easily gets what we want,but it does not promise that we will have a happy life forever. We have to know how to fully utilise the money in order to make our life happily. Not all beautiful face and body will have a good life out there. Life is depend on luck. Some girls might have a pretty face and good figure,but they are suffering in their lifes too. The most important is we as a human being must have a Good Heart Always.Outside look is not that important.

yeah money really has much effect in our quality of our life thus on our happiness. though i would be content to be happy from having good relationship but i don't have it either. i am just wishing if i can't get good relationship with any one that at least i would enough money to keep myself busy and keep me off my problems.

Yes,I agree with it that money,beauty and attractive body do have many advantages.With lots of money you can buy the things you like like beautiful house,car,etc.Also beautiful look does the same thing.Most of the time we can see that beautiful people talk with lots of confidence where the ugly one have no courage to face people.An attractive body is also appealing.Also money helps people to stay healthy and mostly healthy people look good. But all people are not born with all these gifts.So it is just useless to run after money and become unhappy when we cannot earn it.If we accepts the way we look and let people think whatever then we can also lead a happy life.Still it is not bad to dream of a rich life with lots of money.

yes i think that we can be happier with more money in life though totally happy as in totally depend on money always. but in some extent it takes away our mind from our problem.

I believe you are right. Money is necessary. However we mustn't forget to enjoy living in our effort to earn money. money does have its advantages for it can make you happy, get u a beautiful face and generally keep you satisfied, even if it is so for a short period of time. Money can even make you change your life and your way of life!

yeah with money having beautiful face is not hard any more. but though the safety issue is still there. but it is better if you are beautiful naturally and people are generally happier if they look great.

I think it contributes to happiness, but it definitely isn't the be all and end all. I mean, a lot of people who have gorgeous bodies have to work on them and people who have lots of money have usually had to work for it as well (unless they were very VERY lucky and were born into it). I would love to look like a supermodel and be just as rich, but everyone knows that not everyone can have that. And I sometimes think I have a happier life than some celebrities. My personal life isn't always under constant scrutiny and I don't have to worry about going out in whatever and not having to worry about me being criticised about it and having it splashed all over the tabloids the next day. :P

i totally agree with you. though having beautiful face is just inborn but maintaining your beautiful body is quite a hard work and requires a lot of discipline. sometimes i dream that i could have a supermodel look but i just remain as a dream. and me too, the only thing i am grateful is i am not celebrity and being under constant scrutiny. i just wonder why do beautiful people have or want to be a celebrity when they can earn well and be happy without being a celebrity.

I don't think so.Maybe they have more money and can do many things poor men can't do,like travelling all over the world,having dinner at advanced hotel,owning several houses,go shopping without worrying about money problem,but I feel that happiness doesn't belong to riches and beautiful persons.Being busy with the work can also be the happiness of a common person,because his life is colorful and full at least.

i don't see it that way. cause a lot of people here like farmers and other people with slow earning job or business are miserable in life cause they have to think always where they are going to find the money to buy food for the day. they always join those group that set up rallies against government asking for more support and reform for them to have more privilege in life. poor people don't enjoy good health. they die young. and they get sick as young as possible like they get sick while still kids and and the life span of poor people is short compared to rich people who can afford to medicines.

Yes most of the time as I think. I have seen, people who are rich, are generally having an aura with them.It makes them more acceptable ion the society.Also in career, people with beautiful face get more advantages

beautiful face,attractive body and money are very important in our life.but happiness is more important than the above things.if happiness is there,then only we can lead a good life.but i know that money is very much important in our life.we cannot get happiness by giving money.but money is not there, happiness is not there.

Well.I know this kind of people exist.They maybe pretty and charming also enough rich.But in other word if their are rich they can chance youself beautiful isn't .they can have a face lift.So we have to admit money can buy a lots of thing.But one thing.Money never buy.It's happiness.Some people they don't have enough money beautiful house highest life.But they are happy.they are happy form little thing families friend.Rich people always worried about too much thing .and doubt a lots thing.Don't trust people.They think people treated them good.Cause they want to get benefit from them.So i think the happiness is the best

Hi there, I think money could be found, and beautiful face is a gift. If we have both, have extra money and beautiful face is an ideal thought and dream of the human. But some it doesnt real, cause nobody is perfect. I dont think people who have more money and have beautiful faces and body are generally more happy in life. It depends on each individual, what is like to manage his life to be happy. So Life must be think smart to reach your happiness. Happy mylotting, always :)
