Perhaps, we could extend this idea further, and ask people, if they had two choices in life: they could be rich, successful, smart and beautiful, but stressed and unhappy...or they could be poor, unsuccessful, dumb and ugly, but they would be peaceful, happy and appreciate every moment of their wonderful existence, which would they choose? Maybe, I should throw in an extra 10yrs of life for the latter coz few of us could possibly imagine being fulfilled with what little we've got or that the assets of the former could bring anything but happiness and fulfillment.
