Then your telling me, you would rather be poor and wanting than have more and wanting. To each his own. That's what makes this world go around.
I read what she said and no way could I get what you projected and assumed.
A man that leads with his wallet, bank account, things and the projection that these things are of more worth than even being poor and very content... shows something about himself that many don't appreciate. That he is lacking in knowing what stopping to smell the roses are all about, because it is the expensive things in life he is all about. To think that a man would use these things as an enticement or promotion and see that as his worth could mean some real trouble down the road, if he lost his ass and therefore his worth. Don't you have any more than that?
Poor and wanting? Really? Is that your picture of what being poor is all about? I am poor and I am not wanting. Maybe a bit wanton, but not wanting. I wasn't always poor. I had the custom home with custom everything inside... every weekend the party, which I paid for... the highfalutin friends and all that. I wasn't happier than I am now... in fact... I was less satisfied than ever. It meant nothing to me. I had more fun using coffee grounds three times, playing poker with my poor friends and seeing who could make the most dinner for the most people for the least amount of money and still provide a meal we loved. (I won.) Now those nights were more fun than any party I can remember where everyone came and swam, drank and ate on my dime.
Welcome to the boards... where you can get your ass beat whatever side of the kneel you are on.
