Indian slums for example contain some of the happiest people in the world.
How do you know that? 
t to impress people we hate. We hate ourselves and we don't even know it; which is why mental health issues are on the increase in the West. The support of family and friends, togetherness, people helping each other, honesty, selflessness, someone who would give you their last bit of food if you have none... true life is there. It is ignorant to assume that someone who has old clothes and doesn't have the latest iPhone must inherently be unhappy. Sarah. 'Did you pick the trees up earlier?'
Me. 'I haven't got a clue what you're on about'
Sarah. 'The trees on the grass'
Me. 'I still haven't got a clue what you're on about'
Sarah. 'You know, the trees on the lawn which had blown over, when you mowed it'
Me. 'You mean the bamboo pots?'
Sarah. 'Yes'
Me. 'Well why didn't you say bamboo pots not trees?'
Sarah. 'You knew what I meant!'

I think you'd be surprised. There was a TV series about it a while back. Material possessions do not make you happy, and western life means we are all individual, lonely, selfish, ignorant tards. We don't see it, but we take solace in working to buy st to impress people we hate.
Im happy with my material possessions, ok you could knock that down to contented, but not unhappy. t to impress people we hate. Don't think I have ever bought something to impress someone I hate.

It is ignorant to assume that someone who has old clothes and doesn't have the latest iPhone must inherently be unhappy. No doubt there are some people like that, but on balance I'm going to guess that someone with a nice house, plenty of money AND a supportive family, good social circle and who isn't 'working to buy s
t to impress people we hate' (believe it or not, some of us aren't) is probably happier than the average slum dweller.I know it's popular for new age types to patronisingly suggest that people living in slums or in abject poverty are somehow 'happier', but the odd thing is you never see these types jacking it all in to go and live that life.
Anyway, back to people's 'interesting' wives...

Just shown Mrs Flightman the yellow F1 McLaren pics. I was just about to explain the entire story when she pipes up" I don't like it. You know I've never liked Lamborghini's"
Dear God.
As someone who’d rather watch my kids race on roller skates, and would switch channels to “The Sky at Night” If the alternative was F1 racing, Mrs. Flightman sounds like quite a catch to me.Dear God.

A ph'er who doesn't know what a McLaren F1 is?I have zero interest in cars, racing or otherwise, which can be illustrated to you guys by the fact that when my wife was seeking a replacement for her 10 y.o. Fiat Croma, (auto diesel), I actively urged her to consider a VW Tiguan, or maybe Seat Arona, (auto petrol).
She plumped for a Peugeot 2008 auto petrol, even though I pushed for a 3008, as I’d be more comfortable sitting in the rear reading the paper in a slightly larger car, even though I’m barely 5’9” and 81 kilos.
I’m certainly not a mole from mumsnet or brake, (whatever that is).
