Poor but happy? Or maybe happy, because it is low?
By , 0 views
Question asked by paradox : Poor but happy? Or perhaps happy because poor? 1.Letztens I read the abstract of a study of satisfaction with their own life situation was assessed. It turned out that people in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, far happier than in wealthier non Romania, from Germany to mention.2. In the past week I attended a meeting at, in which all parties agreed that once the conditions were modest, too narrow yard, building small and drafty, but they had much more fun together.3. Similar statements in the “Making of …” a film which I watched myself on the weekend, a warehouse in an area where otherwise be produced porn, two toilets for a hundred people behind you but wanted to miss a day of these two years …4. Finally, a look back. Found the best parties, to which one can remember for years not without grinning happily, not always take place in far too small kitchens?@ Lacy, maybe I have expressed myself imprecisely, perhaps a bit exaggerated. I ask the question a little differently: making life more difficult conditions satisfied?Of course I would not dwell on real poverty.@ All: You’re going to make me back terribly difficult to pick a BA, beautiful and intelligent answers, so I like my YC.

Poverty is relative – you can as long enough to (over) life and the environment is right to be quite happy, luxury goods, one misses not if one has never known, but’ll ask a starving child, whose last meal of dried cow dung was (sorry, is so) whether it is happy, I do not think … Many empires talk himself a miserable they are but do not know what they are talking, or they are the ones with false friends, loneliness, etc. – luxury you do not need to be happy, what matters is family, friends, social environment, but in real poverty, where every day is a struggle for survival, can not be happy, you do not much but at least one kind of basic welfare.

You mistake as some basic things:Real poverty is life threatening! This means hunger, disease and Sichtum.This is what you mean (in hindsight) heritage and has nothing whatsoever to do with poverty. After 1948 there was no one in Germany who had to starve.If you want to know will experience real poverty and then go to Darfur and ask people there if they are happy.

I have read a billboard on a beautiful and quite true saying: Money is the sixth Sense that helps us enjoy the other fifth I think it already has something in it, what’s the one where you have a super sense of taste, however, can only bread and water? What does one a great sense of smell, if you live in a stinking gutter? What is the point when you can look fabulous, but never to travel to the most beautiful places in the world? What is the point if you can with your hands good feel for different materials and fabrics but only linen or cotton touched? What does an ear like that of dogs, if you mostly hear the crash of a big city?What does this have to do with the question? You can afford a better life, and thus happier.

there really something to it. I do not think it hartz 4 and of course great. but somehow you can deal with it. Obviously, you can not afford luxury, but I’ve never even had a job I still ‘nen. but so little highlights are allowed … and then when I often schmuckbehangenen women with their Gucci handbags and high heels 220euro see rumbalancieren auf’m cobblestones, I am fully satisfied. is not to say that I’m running around in sackcloth and ashes …: o))

Since 2000, I am a long-term unemployed due to health reasons, only live of Hartz IV on the volunteer center, I have a volunteer job in the print shop of the Gutenberg Museum found where I can ideally combine hobbies and job together. I have nice people, come in contact with artists – in my situation, I can not imagine anything better. If it interests you, go to http://www.zeitenwende.com/gutenberg/ times, click ‘on the German version. In the navigation bar “The film is about us” button with photos in which I show card printing. Was recorded for television in the weeks before Christmas …

It is not about ‘poor’ or ‘rich’ but the fixation in the material realm … very well @ rosileins poster with the money as 6 Sense … with our 5 senses we can only reach the surface of things, the packaging … who can not be confused by the dazzling variety of substances, recognize the subtle but significant differences between lines and lines … does not the packaging, you focus more on the content and comes closer to the essence.But there are enough people who achieve, whether rich or poor, only the surface, the hunt of the forever reproached for carrot.ll

True happiness has to do with human connection and not with material prosperity.Only by focusing too much focus on the latter, may be left rich heir, but die “poor”.

So, in Cuba the people are so poor they have to pay for a doctor anything. And there is no health insurance contribution. They are so poor they have in their simple houses, no glass. And for sheer poverty can not afford to diseases of affluence (heart attack, diabetes, etc.). Drugs are there almost prohibitive. BUT: the average life expectancy is the same as in Germany.

The Romans have said “non multa sed multum”. We could interpret the so not many things but much, (enjoy) in the few.It is obvious that often the poorest people who just need the least are the happiest. One must of course assume that the bare necessities for survival, of course, has.
