Is the mind an asset or a liability? Can its worth be measured? What about lifestyle and psycho-social maturity?

When one considers the human life cycle from womb to tomb, and the successive demands of each age one can come up with a more balanced view of what success entails. First, the life cycle entails losing and being reconciled to loss. Death being the biggest loss. The biggest gain is mental and spiritual development.

At 26 - young adulthood - there are questions of 'intimacy' versus 'isolation', before in adolescence the big question was about 'identity'. During 'mature adulthood' say 35 onwards to say 50's the big question is about 'generativity'. After sixties the cycle is drawing to an end. You're dying. Are you satisfied or are you in despair?

The idea of being a millionaire in the 20's is fairly recent. Not long ago, millionaires came in the 40's onwards- the period of generativity. But now thanks to changes in technology wealth can come in the teens. But there's a big problem with that. More often than not the young are distracted from their main issues mostly because money is worshipped by many and their lives are led to ruin. I can give many examples of this especially from the so called 'celebrities'.

ONLY!

welcome to the rat race....even if you win you are still a rat

Very disgusting! Is it not @tycho.
Everything that has a begining has an end…sex, money, love…I tell you!

In life, the key to happiness is to not try "keeping up with the Joneses" since there will always be someone presumably doing better than you. Some via humongous bank loans and credit cards. Which is better....having sleepless nights while living beyond your means at Runda (to impress raia) or "sleeping like a baby" while living within your means huko syokimau?
