If I won the lottery, would I really be any happier than I am now? Probably for about 6 months. After all the money was divied out to deserving folks and family members, all the trips had been taken, the houses and cars and assorted crap purchased.

What then? Open a hostel for substance abuse victims, set up a program for the homeless? Participate in charities for good causes etc etc. Oh sure, we all THINK we would do these things. But I have my doubts. We are all so hard wired into the rat race at this point that, sadly, we would be malfunctioning without the pressure after a short time.

It is one thing to have money all your life and quite another to suddenly come into millions. It probably destroys people. I would like to think that at this late phase of my life, I would actually be able to do something of value every day. Get up, go to work, work hard at something that benefits humanity, treat the people who work with me well and be fulfilled knowing that I am doing something worthwhile.

What a fantasy.
