Is it better to just have nothing so as not to have to stuggle to keep what you do have?

Sometimes it is.  When you have nothing to lose, you become more liberated emotionally and spiritually.  We often create false dependencies on the things and people we think we possess.  If we knew what's truly important and what to let go of, I think we would live much richer lives.

No. You are either complete or not. There is no variation. You can't be slightly complete, as there is only one way of being complete. Therefore if you are not complete you are definatly incomplete.\n\nAnyway, entirely incomplete sounds nicer ;-)

to a very limited extent yes. its the worry benefit ratio.\nwhen you worry a little there is benefit. as you keep worring more and more....the increase in benefit is very little. \n\nalso worry take a lot of energy and time (brain time).\n\nthe benefits of worrying beyong a certain extent are too mintue. however the amount of energy and time -- such worring would take -- would be huge. This causes other problems.\n\nunless taking a huge risk...why worry so much?\nand also...why take a huge risk anyway.....specially if you worry a lot.\n\n\n\nMoral/Take away is \n\nthat generally --\n\nits much more beneficial to not worry beyond a certain point and invest that energy on getting excited about things.

You don't need anything, just yourself...if you know what you're doing!

i'd take the former of the two options. i pretty much already do that while still living in a big city. life is very lonesome for me, but it beats the hell out of having to talk to a bunch of idiots everyday. all i need is my skateboard, a few notebooks, and my guitar

If you have a nest egg to hold you over until you find a new job then no, however, if you were living check to check then maybe you should have found a new job BEFORE leaving the one you had. In the end, if leaving helps you maintain your sanity then that's what's most important.

Having one thing guaranteed (in your hand), is worth more than hoping you might get more things that you don't have yet.

Cinderella. (look deeper than the Prince Charming and fairy godmother thing) It shows that you can go from having wealth, to having nothing and back to having wealth. When you think you have nothing, look around and just be grateful for what you have, and when you least expect it, more will come your way.

I AM better off being alone. Until things change in my life, that is the way I prefer it to stay. Not cynical, just the plain truth.

I would say both! But i will also tend to lean towards happiness my friend. Financial reward is definetly good when it comes to material gain. Once one has money, one can achieve greater things such as material spending etc... Although when one has no material gain, what will you do? On the other hand, if you are happy, then what else does matter? \n\nFor example: You have earned $5000 a month. You will spend it on rent, utilities etc.. But you will also spend it on something you like because it will make you happy. Well it will make you think that you are happy!!! But what if you don't have that amount? What if you just have happiness? You don't even need to spend on anything, but you will still be happy. And what is better than being happy? If you know what happiness is, then everything else doesn't really matter...\n\nThere are people out in the world who are doing jobs called volunteering. They are actually doing it for their own happiness (even though they are doing it for their resume also)! But if you talk to some of those people, they will tell you that the best accomplishments in their life was to help those people in needs, not the amount of money they were making 15 years after that!!!! \n\nSo yes both because you need to survive in the world today, but it is more important to be happy than be rich! Cheers!

I’d probably be more inclined to think that happiness is more important than success. But is it a right? I think you have the duty to yourself to be happy first and foremost and that includes being honest to yourself, otherwise you’ll never find true happiness. If along the way should you find success, that would be an added bonus but it would not be more important that finding true happiness. The gathering of material goods is by no means an indicator of having lived a successful or happy life. It just means that you had a lot of stuff that you’d be giving to other people when you die.\n\nPersonally though I don’t think there are any god given rights, as it were.

I've found that staying with something that is very simple is the way to go. I like having diffrent settings but not to many. Also look at the cost.
