19 year mortgage 8itch Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Lottery Winner found Hung in Home Thought this might cheer us up a bit. and proof that a big home and lots of money do not mean happiness. Why would that cheer us up? I'll rephrase that, why would the suicide of a seemingly normal man cheer us up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Doesn't cheer me up, very sad. The idea that suddenly coming into money means everything becomes rosy is very wrong despite the media endlessly peddling this myth. If I won £1m on tonight's lottery I would tell nobody about it and it would not change my lifestyle or behaviour one jot. Before the question is asked I do the lottery because I am in a Syndicate at work and I want to be able to celebrate the good fortune of the other people if the near-impossible happens, I don't think I could do that very well if I was the only one not in it.

GinAndPlatonic Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The article paints a picture of a normal guy, but who really knows how anyone feels deep down. All of us need to feel secure in our own skin. If we do not, we attempt to show we feel ok, as it can be scary to seek help and give our power away. Money is a side show that helps to a certain extent, but after all it`s only money. The best things in life are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 It is so sad - what a waste. It does not matter how much money you have in life as unhappiness, depression, loneliness, illness strikes everyone no matter how much money they have in the bank. I feel sorry for this chap and for this loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNACR Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The comments on the Daily Mail are all 'money can't buy you happiness'. Tomorrow all the same people will be leaving comments twittering on about banker's bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
