The Artdog Quote of the Week
That old cliche "money can't buy happiness" may be true, but deep down inside most people don't believe it. I was talking with a friend recently, about a longtime childhood acquaintance of hers whom she'd once asked, "You're comfortable. D'you ever plan to relax and enjoy it?"
Her childhood chum just laughed and shook her head. "Oh, no. I want ALL the money!"
ALL the money. How many of us would say something different, if we answered truthfully? "Enough" is a hard concept for many of us. Contentment is an elusive goal. There's always a new "something more," and that's not always bad. There'd be no new breakthroughs without the goad of discontentment. But as with everything, there's a balance to strike, or we slide over into unhealthy dysfunction.
Just as a pinch of salt adds flavor, a lot of salt adds high blood pressure, and too much salt can kill us, We have to stop somewhere. Where have you drawn your line?
