A man has become a billionaire. What is his purpose in life now? - page 5

 
Money is a means. The goal is to influence world processes--to move humanity forward.)
 
Andrei Fandeev:

Golden words!!! Maybe the author of this movie could not have expressed it more precisely and compactly.

But I'd like to add to it. I am 56 years old. I have a house and a wife and everything else.
But to drink bitter, like the hero of the film, who uttered this phrase - I do not want to.
What to do? Where to go from here?
I have decided for myself - to have a dream. And not even a dream, but an ambition to pursue it.
And now all my actions are aligned with it.
What that goal is - it doesn't matter, but it's not about money or recognition (both of which I already had to some extent).

So I guess even having a house and a wife - there must necessarily be a next need (in my case it's moving towards another goal).
Otherwise, one can get bored, fall into a routine of monotony or even sleep it off ))))


It is no fun to live without a clear goal. This was explained to me by a psychologist or abbot (for some).

Sadly, he died, but thanks to him I learned to look for a goal and go for it.

 
Andrei Fandeev:

This is already a philosophy ))))
After all, people are different, and everyone decides for himself whether his dream is Light or Dark.

Light and dark are objectively existing physical phenomena and objects.

And for philosophers these are philosophical concepts, but they are philosophers to live in a nonexistent world with nonexistent phenomena. It is mostly used to substitute concepts and fool the frivolous population.

 
Andrei Fandeev:

So there you go. For me, my dream is Bright. No harm done to anyone - that's for sure ))))

Harmless is not light. )) A luminous dream is one that brings light into the world.

 

Money should not be much or little. It just has to be enough for everything. If I wanted a sausage sandwich today, I went to a cafe and ordered it. I wanted to go to Monte Carlo to play in the casino, so I took 20 thousand and played. I wanted to go on a yacht trip - took 100 thousand roubles and went wherever I wanted! Antarctica? Why not? But not many people can afford it. Because they do not own the business, they own it.

Why do people want more money than they have? It is a way of life. This is interesting for them. Without money people cannot live. Money is a reward for work. For a job they love, if you like.
Why are they greedy? Because there are always those who want their money.

Money can give them power, and a lot of it. Many people are warmed by this power. I do not have it yet. Maybe I do not have that level of power that gives you warmth. Maybe I should see a psychologist or become a psychologist myself to teach people not to revel in power.

 
Andrei:

Light and darkness are objectively existing physical phenomena and objects.

For philosophers these are philosophical concepts, but they are philosophers to live in a non-existent world with non-existent phenomena. Basically it is used for substitution of concepts and fooling of thoughtless population.

Andrei:

Not doing any harm is not yet light. )) Light is the one that brings light.

Two contradictory messages.
Did you use the terms "Light" and "Dark" in a physical or philosophical sense?

If in a physical sense, then the dream does not have this property.
If in a philosophical sense, then ( see "it is used to substitute concepts and deceive the frivolous population").

OK. Thanks for the chat, I've got work to do, I'm rested. I'm out of this thread.

 
Andrei Fandeev:

If in the physical, the dream does not have this property.

Why is that?

Perhaps you are confusing a physical object with a material object. A physical object such as an electromagnetic wave does not need material carriers.

 
Andrei:
Why is that?

Because light is a stream of photons, and dreams don't emit photons, otherwise a person in the dark would have to glow).

 

And for charity, I'd put you in jail. There's no such thing as good intentions out of thin air. Somebody is making amends or hiding money from taxes.

Besides, if someone is given money for nothing, it will only harm the recipient. Nature should weed out the weak and sick.

For example the crisis in Greece. A construction worker received 520 euros at a construction site. The benefits were 500 euros, so people stopped working and paying taxes. I think not everyone has forgotten what happened in Greece.

1. Dreams do not necessarily have to emit photons. It could be something else, unknown to science.

2. Human beings already glow in the dark in infrared and in other ranges too.
