Veryoften       one comes across reports in the media such as the following:        >        > * Fortunes lost and lives follow in financial market crash …..!        > * A Tokyotrader shot himself after apparently losing money in the stock       market..!        > *Australia's richest man was rushed to hospital in serious condition,       Sunday,after suffering a heart attack....!        > Understanding and acceptingthat happiness has nothing to do with amassment       of wealth is perhaps the mostliberating realization we can ever come to.        >        > *****Ample materialis readily available from the lives of many people to       prove our dictum "wealthis not equal to happiness".*****        >        >        >        >        > DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON (Christina Onassis)?!        > Here lies another eventful story which proved beyond doubt that       wealth,whatever the amount one holds, cannot by itself be the basis for the       achievementof real happiness! Here is the story which for years dominated the       minds ofwriters, reporters and        newsmen, as well as the pages of newspapers, books andmagazines! This is the       story of Christina Onassis daughter of the famous Greektycoon, Aristotle       Onassis who owned fleets of ships and aeroplanes, lakes andislands, real       estates, huge bank deposits,        etc. Following the death of herfather, Christina was the only one left behind       as the legal heiress to the vastresources of her father besides her late       father's second wife JacquelineKennedy. The enormous liquid inheritances were       to the tune of billions        ofdollars besides the immovable properties, the fleet of ships and       aeroplanes,lakes and islands, real estates, large bank deposits, etc 'What an       inheritancethat was! Certainly, to the judgment, reasoning, feelings and       standards of mostpeople, someone        inheriting such a huge fortune should be the happiest person onearth but was       this true for Christina? The answer to this question can only bearrived at       after going through the following pages which briefly explain theknown course       of her life.        >        > Christina got married to anAmerican during her father's lifetime; but only a       few months thereafter themarriage broke up and ended up in divorce. After the       death of her father, shegot married to a Greek for the second time but their       marriage lasted only        a fewmonths, if not weeks, before it was all over!        >        > Christinastayed out of marriage for quite some time apparently looking for a       happy lifeoutside the marriage bond. However, that happiness did not       materialize and,after a few years had elapsed, she felt like flying to find a       life of happinessunder the        marriage bond once again. This time her choice for a husband was froma       completely different camp from communist Russia! To many who knew her       freestyle western life, this step, indeed, became an interesting, if not       perturbingor excruciating experience.        And when once asked by a pressman of this move, shehad a ready answer which       was simple, short, but frank: "I am searching forhappiness".        >        > Of course, her two previous marriages were withmen from the West; and since       they both failed, she thought that she could"discover" some happiness in the       East. But here too she was only trying out herluck with no guarantees. When       pressmen interviewed        her for a second time herunchanged reply was: "I am searching for       happiness..!"        >        > Butwas she really happy about her marriage in Russia? Never! She hardly       remainedwith the Russian for more than a year before she eventually divorced       him!        >        > Apparently, that was not the end of the marriage "dilemma".Back in Europe       she decided to give it one more final try this time with a Frenc       industrialist, the fourth husband from a fourth different country in hardly       aperiod of two years! What a        miserable and unsecured life it has been. It wasduring one of those occasions       at a party relating to this last marriage that apressman asked her whether she       was the richest woman and her frank reply went asfollows: Yes! I am the       richest woman but the        unhappiest....        >        > The marriage with the French industrialist went ahead as planned but it       tookonly a few months to exist before it was all gone!        >        > Havingfailed to achieve happiness under marriage life, Christina vowed not       to marryagain and endeavored to achieve happiness "on her own". However,       happiness wasimpossible for her even on her own and she spent the rest of her       life in adesperate manner        full of frustrations and disappointments and of frenzy travelsbetween the       world's major cities until, finally, she was found lying dead insidea hotel in       Argentina. Who killed her? She committed suicide! What an unhappyending for a       very, very wealthy lady!               >        > Was her wealth able tobuy her happiness?        >        > NEVER, INDEED!!!!!!!        > Is happiness achieved in Rank And Position?!               [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
