We are not born rich and poor neither but we enjoy our life being used of what we've been before. This means until we've grown up to maturity and each of us (siblings) got married we never had so much money like anyone who happened stumble lots of money either from treasure hunting, heirs or won from lottery. But, we were happy family in the sense that we had harmony and love in our family. Yes we are poor but we never had big family problem I remember that almost broke up our family before.
Nowadays, there are lots of rich people who can afford everything what they want in their lives materially. If you look at it personally you can never say they have problems anymore. But, in spite of this, they never had a peaceful life. Some parents have no time to their family and children because on their own business. No time for their children instead use their money just to hire helpers, caretakers, nanny/s to take care of the family.
When children grow up, most likely they never had a good training because they were only attended with their own helpers. No parents to talk and go with in time of their personal problems that's why some children will go on drugs and lots of vices to cover up and forget their problems.
Can you say they enjoy their lives at the midst of their richness?
Peaceful and loving family versus richness without harmony in the family, which would you prefer?
Let's share our thoughts..

What you said is true. My idea about enjoying life is to have a happy healthy family. The family members would care for each other, does not involve in social problems and they are willing to share everything. Of course, I would also like to have a career which does not take too much of my time and earn me a steady life. Then I would have time for my family and we can have vacation once in a while to enjoy life.

Becoming rich is never a sin. But, if you focus all your time in looking for this, this is might be the fall of your family once you have it all. If you will do it in balance that would be great. Money can't buy happiness my friend. Thanks for responding anyway...

When my husband was away for four days, I can't seem to enjoy everything in our house. I no longer find having a cup of coffee enjoyable or even sleeping in our bed comfortable when he is not around. Life itself is not enjoyable without him so I would definitely do not want wealth if I don't have him beside me. Money can't buy happiness so I would rather choose to be poor and happy than rich and lonely.

We have one thing in common in terms of enjoyment my friend. You're absolutely right when you say "money can't buy happiness". You may all have the richness on earth but if you don't peace and good harmony in your family how could it be called happiness.
I like the way you understood enjoyment my friend..thanks for responding..

I recall an old movie in which this kind of a dialogue was exchanged: "If you get good sleep, you can't earn enough. If you earn a lot, you do not get good sleep." I feel that in life we need to balance our needs- materialistic and otherwise with what we want for our family, and family values. An excess on one side, and the life balance is threatened. Some people say that they live in traditional way, and believe in value system. Yet, they always feel jealous of those who earn even a little more. On the other hand, we have people who earn handsomely, yet fail to strike a balance between their lives and work. This is a complex issue and we are yet to figure out an answer for it. Till then, we can just try to give our best to both our jobs / business and families as well.

Unfortunately, most of the people in our society are moving towards a life which aims at more and more materialistic possessions, even at the cost of their own mental peace.

dear Martin,
Enjoyment is define in many ways.
Like what you said, could be materially or in any form.
I can say that rich people achieve material enjoyment easily which poor ones seldom gain.
But enjoyment doesn't always mean happiness since it only gives temporary emotional happiness.
have a good day my dear amigo

Yes bonita I understand what you mean. What I mean here is the people most wanted to have - material happiness. Generally people will ask God's blessings that most likely material abundance than other forms of blessings. Thanks for responding my friend...

I prefer a peaceful and loving family over the other. Why? Because the enjoymemnt of life is not on the material possessions that you have. It is about the happy moments that you- the real and true happiness that we can find in our family.

Besides, you can easily pray together and find solutions of all the problems and trials if the family is at peace with each other, right? How nice it to be that way...thanks for responding my friend..

Well, there are a lot of things that have happened in my life, I would consider things of importance. Things in reality, that have helped me to become who I am today. Anytime I have time to share what I have learned either here or with others.

Considering the sort of life I hve lived so far I will prefer the second option. When my heart says it to mind that money is not everything, in future it may leave you with no one to help you. My mind replies let that time come. Money has a lot of benefits. It solely depends on the individual who has money in his hand how he uses it. I will not agree that a rich person will have no heart and will not receive love from his family. There should be a balance of both. A family should also understand that if I am not able to give as much time to them as they expect, it is for their betterment. If I will not earn they will not get their needs satisfied. I personally feel that I will be able to manage money and family well. And I feel one requires courage, self belief, self confidence and support of family to manage it both.

I liked roaming around the park. If I feel so stressed out, I used to just sit on the park's benches to explore the beauty that can be seen in the area. If find it entertaining to see the different reactions of people in the park. They do enjoy the ambiance that is so peaceful to spend in a longer time.
