How far can you go? - Page 2

Ah yes.. Well, you can conclude that if you can resist getting easy money (which contributes to generating more wealth), you can resist the desire to earn "more money" in the first place

Im sure if the goal in your life is to earn lots of money, if there are options to earn money easily, you'd take it, right? For example, if there was a seminar on earning a million dollars within a few months (hosted by someone who did so), you'd surely go if that was your aim

Ummm... well I may not attend the seminar> But yeah, why will I not go for the routes that give me riches, if thats my aim?

@MaRo: yeah I agree. But tell me, why the hell then the richest man crave for more? May be because desire never ends?

MaRo

I mean the limit that keeps you the richest man, as long as I'm the richest man if it's 1 dollar or nice 60 billions.

For me it depends on the amount that is at stake. I will not say that I am honest always. And if I get my eyes on something, I usually get it no matter through what means. So, therefore I say, it depends on the amount or the thing.

(look at all the unhappy rich people) You will never be satisfied, that is the snare of materialism and greed. I got enough negative kharma as it is without adding the lust of money into the mix, laugh. So the short answer is I call whatever I am earning enough. Ok, I step off of my soap box now, laugh! Lots of wisdom in these two famous quotes:

Money is the root of all evil

money can't buy you happiness (or love according to the Beatles

)

Gohm,
I see in many cases you and me are poles apart. I will add one more saying for your consideration.
Money may not buy love or happiness but it allows you to rent the same. Anyway, I would rather rent for a short time than have it forever. I think love is fie. For myself I would rather have power(which is made easier by the possession of money) than love.

I would NEVER hurt someone. That's what I was trying to say. I was saying that I would never go to measures as to hurt anyone for money. Sorry if my words didn't come out clear.
I make about $80 a month. . . which is horrible. I have to watch my niece 2 days a week. And I have a job, but it doesn't pay anything. I volunteer at the local zoo here. I feed the animals and do whatever they need us to do. No money, but I like to do it anyway.

Hmmm... interesting. By the way, tell me if you have come to this situation where you were tempted to compromise with your values. How did you react to it? This is a question for all.

Kinetic: Nice to read your views. Cheers!

It depends on what is at stake Mayur.

I would not go very far to earn money, since money is transient in nature.

But, I might just go the distance for fame, success, love even

Yeah, the answer could be anything ... I am willing to do anything ... if the juice is worth the squeeze. Who determines that? That's easy ... I do
