Mind is so complex and every individual will have some problems in the mind. The rich may seem to be happy , but we don't know what will be in their minds. Enmity, jealousy, inferiority feelings, fear of death, guilt feelings and phobias will be there in most people. In my mind there is a constant worry and whenever I sit free, that thing disturbs me. Turning to God is a solace.

If you have a very successful business, you also have that much worry in the mind. I agree with you.

The wisdom of the world's oldest civilization is shown in your post.
The worries you have will be with you in one form or another throughout all of life. But you have found solace in the right way.
"The greatest wisdom of mankind is but folly to God." (Saint Paul)
If you balance on a scale the advantages and disabilities of each person, probably the scale would show the same results for just about anyone you choose, whether rich or poor, or fortunate or unfortunate on the surface.
The rich have problems just the same as everyone else, health problems, family tragedies, psychological worries, aging, and annoying people in their lives.
No one lives an easy life. Everyone has a list of disadvantages and advantages. The sum total is the same for everyone.

Nice to hear your words. Life is difficult for most of the people, but we can find occasional joy and we can create nice moments.

^_^ So true. I actually did a similar discussion about this in October.
For some reason, society has certain rules on who your "suppose" to be to be socially accepted. What is your viewpoint on this?For those of you who are striving to be "popular" or "normal" and are in pain, I have something to say to encourage you if your in pain: Just be yourself. What is considered "normal" differs from what others consider "normal", therefore normality doesn't really have a real definition. Something with nothing real isn't reality. There's just yourself so why struggle to like yourself with fulfilling normality when normality never existed in the first place. Being yourself isn't selfish. What is selfish is others trying to make you change and take away portions of your true self. Thanks for commenting and remember everyone is awesome especially the broken ones because broken crayons still love to color! Remember outcasts that it's better to be different than a carbon copy of no originality with a bland sense of normality! Stay awesome! ^_^

Your view is also right. When you feel that you deserve your fortunes well, you don't need to worry. If your wealth is the result of a lot of wrongdoings, that may lead to uneasiness of the mind. As you said, it is also true that we comfort ourselves by imagining that the rich may also be unhappy. But such cases are also there , I feel.
