Head above water...

[cheeni]

Richer isn't happier - so say some. I believe it on some days, and suspect its wisdom on other days. The problem with believing that money isn't everything is that you now have to evolve an alternate measure of success. It's almost like humans need to measure their lives at all times - they need to know if their head is above water, else they lose the will to fight and drown.

the units of measurement of success change with ones slot in the heirarchy of needs. at some point it moves into self transcendence. how many people can you bring up to a level of self awareness?

Are you saying then that once someone moves along the need chain (which I interpret to be lateral and not heirarchical - there is no reason to believe that one is better than the other) he/she stops feeling the need to measure?
