RE: Optimism at the End of the World #10 : Selfishness and Selflessness - The two are not at odds

Absolutely a lot of programming needs to be undone.
Believe it or not, it took losing practically everything I worked for in order for me to lose my fear of losing everything! Perhaps that is why poor people are often happier than wealthy people? The poor have nothing to lose and thus no fear?

So easy to believe because I went through the same thing. ;-)

I don't really think there is any correlation between happiness and wealth whatsoever. I find 95% of people to be some kind of unhappy regardless of other factors until they deprogram and face their fears.
