Truth be known, greed is the pipeline supply to happiness. Don’t try and kid yourself otherwise. The aggressive ones, the ones who get there early, get the worm. It’s survival of the fittest in a pack of dogs willing to eat each other if that’s what it all comes down to…doing what it takes to get ahead. Advertising that the meek shall inherit the earth was a ruse to give the less aggressive false hope while wallowing in despair. Money speaks the language of greed and is why greed is seen everywhere. The accumulation of wealth is the drug of security. I wish it wasn’t so but it is and is why one needn’t look far to see it.

Another great movie is Wolf of Wall Street...DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort character was quite a character. You like lobster?
Only one slight disagreement regarding “the meek shall inherit the earth” interpretation.
I believe the intent of that was to convey that those who suffer /toil on earth during their lifetimes, they will all have power restored in the “new earth” or God’s kingdom. Their riches will be revealed to them after life on this earth.
Fair enough. I never argue with another one's personal beliefs. It's whatever gets you through the day without harming yourself or others.
I love how people like you think you can ignore human nature. You can ignore reality but reality doesn't ignore you. So keep playing the fool.
Whoa there "Francis"... Sounds like you're reading way more into this than just a joke... but I'm not surprised, you've never sounded intelligent.
Yep, great movie... I do this every time before I post on this site... come on....
Wolf of Wall Street
It is sorry to hear you buy into the false story that money buys happiness. It seems the less wealthy are happier people as they don't worry about losing all their wealth or how to hang on to it. My family hasn't chased wealth yet we are happen with our station in life. Would more money have made our life easier, yes but easier doesn't mean happier. Often struggle, in small measures lead to happiness. I wouldn't trade my life for more money and there are many of us like that.
Atlanta, as I’m sure you know, is overflowing with Auburn alums and fans. Next to UGA, it’s as if it is a state school in GA.
It’s Man’s nature to be aggressive and for some that carries over into bulging portfolios, the size of the pouch, packaged as “good box”. For others, they toil longer but eventually find their way.
Happiness comes in many forms, some not easily recognized.
