Wouldn't it be nice to be in your shoes?

A friend told me that lines. She told me I have a good living, no need to worry about money. I already have my own house, car and motorcycles. I am not a rich person tough. But what else? Those are the basic needs for most people. No need to hard work, while in the other side, she must struggle to make money, she is selling some foods, she doesn't have a fixed income. Sometimes she gains benefit, sometimes she is loss. But she is healthy. She can do many things that I can't do. Nevertheless, she made me feel lucky even I didn't get any job in an embassy.

It's always nice to have the basic things we need to feel safe and secure in life.

@Shivram59 I agree, the more we make distance from the material things, the more peace we have

Many wealthy people have recognized that money, though useful and a necessary tool, we need to keep in mind what the Bible's advice is on this subject. 'For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.' There's certainly nothing wrong with wealth - it really is the attitude towards it. If something is affordable and one's relationships are not harmed by it, its not wrong to enjoy the fruits of one's labour. It is even beneficial to be in a situation where one can share with others who may be in need. In fact, the Bible also says, "There's more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.'

I like the Bible's idea about we have brought nothing and nothing we can carry out too. I try the best I can to share with others, it does bring a happiness inside that no money can give

@ifa225 I love what it also says: 'For God loves a cheerful giver' So it is not surprising you feel a sense of happiness when sharing - it is a gift of our loving Creator

My opinion is that we should be happy of what we have. If you have a home and not to worry about money, you should be happy.

I couldn't disagree more with your opinion. Sometimes people want to look for more when actually they already have what they need

@LadyDuck sometimes we have to look down to know that we are above others.

People should not tell that to other, because we never know whats happens in someone else shoes, lesson learned do not compare ourself with others, thats totally wrong, your friend should learn that
