Insecurities of the super rich

Saturday, December 16, 2006 INSECURITIES OF THE SUPER RICH Mukesh and Anil, inspite of their billions are unhappy. One brother wants to upstage another brother. Their entire life will be spent in this pursuit. Everyday they will wake up praying the other should not succeed. When they were born, their parents must have thought that they could support each other through thick and thin. What happened!!! After seeing their fathers, their children will in turn may try to outrun each other. All their billions cannot give them some nights of calm sleep and some days of contentment.Amitabh signed KBC for around 100 crores. Shah Rukh upstaged him by signing for double the amount. Compared to these Hrithik and his 35crores deal with Adlabs looks measly. Yet all are not happy inspite of their camera smiles. Race for the superstar status, boxoffice success, popularity, megabucks make them discontented and the next big deal is awaited with bated breath.Cricketers have their own insecurities. They do not know when they will be dropped, when the advertisers stop knocking at their doors, when people may ignore them.Politicians are highly insecure and that shows in their bowing to every populist demand. They will rather lose their ethics than their chairs.Compared to these, are we not better off? 6:20:07 PM Posted By chandra shant Comments (6) Uncategorized Comments Alag Saturday, December 16, 2006 6:34:48 PM Don't every body have their insecurities??? justreason7 Saturday, December 16, 2006 6:43:32 PM Yes. But we sleep better and we are very happy when we receive calls from our brothers or friends. yaveshrana Saturday, December 16, 2006 6:47:52 PM Sir,Happiness is a state of mind.It(H) is directly equal to number of ambitions(DESIRES) Fulfilled(AF) by you divided by number of ambitions nourished(AN). H= AF/ANTherefore, LESS AMBITIONS U HAVE MORE HAPPY U R, Sir. But it is not possible to satisfy young minds with this.They learn on their own. justreason7 Saturday, December 16, 2006 6:52:56 PM Sometimes you feel happy watching rain or watching a solitary bird crossing your path. yaveshrana Saturday, December 16, 2006 6:58:17 PM Sir,I may like to correct u---It is NOT HAPPINESS--it is EXCITEMENT--a POSITIVE emotion--which also gives happiness. NEGATIVE emotions give you mental disturbance. Sir Have u read " I'M OK;YOU ARE OK" by Thomas Harris--you must. You will understand the role of positive and negative emotions. K.Venugopal Monday, December 18, 2006 10:59:54 PM It is not about being happy or unhappy, being rich or poor - it is about having a restful mind and a restless mind. Now this is a purely subject judgment. By actions, we may judge a person as being of a restless character. But we can never say - we may have judged the action without knowing the context. We can only work on ourselves. Calm your mind, be free and let be.
