More evidence that life is not fair...

[cyklon_300]

Just saw a show about Greg Norman's 'Aussie Rules,' the largest aluminum-hull yacht in the world.

The yacht is 220+', crew of 16, carries a 32' sportfisher boat on a stern deck rack, has a full-time DM, nitrox system, complete gear for 24 divers, and its own recompression chamber.

But, in order to get all this...the man had to play golf for a living.

Sheesh...

If you are breathing, and not hungry nor cold nor thirsty, then life is fair.

If you get to scuba dive, then you are damm lucky. Most of the population of the world cannot.

If you need a 200 ft yacht to be happy, then you will never be happy.

If you are on a respirator, or hungry, cold, or thirsty, then you have cause to complain that life has not been fair. But then, life is not forever either, at least not on this planet of ours.

Scuba has taught me to appreciate every breath I take, and to relish life.

I don't know... the yacht would make me pretty dang happy, especially if it had glass bottom windows.

i have been a poor man all my life, happy most of the time and very thankful for what God has let me have. LOL i could be happy with that boat he has but i can also be happy knowing i will never have one.

Happy Easter to everyone.

I'm content without a yacht, but I guess I could endure the bouts of melancholia that would be induced by living on this beast...of course, I'd have to take some time away from it occassionally to get back to full-blown happiness.

Back in the early 70's while I worked as a marine electronic tech in Miami, my boss gave me a rush install of a small radar unit. That was wierd enough but it turned out to be at Dodge Island the port of Miami. Anyway, the install was on a 36 footer in the davits on little putput called the Christina, owned by Onasis (http://www.yachting-greece.com/Christina_O_gallery.htm) . Never did another like that, 40ft off the water, overlooking the pool and with 4 "security folk" making sure I didnt hurt myself.

I sure would rather be getting philosophical with money on my yacht than trying to rationalize happiness and wondering about the next payment on the equity line.

money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure makes being unhappy easier...

but seriously, i think i would much rather be happy and have
tons of money than be happy and broke
