  1. I just finished listening to Nico Rosberg's interview to Toto Wolff. And the main take from that is "if you're poor, you care about having. If you're rich, you care about purpose". I recommend anyone who wants to listen to a very talented and wise man say some stuff. Bringing that up here, I make the connection on the part of Destiny talking about his Cuban side of the family. Cuba is shit. Despite of what many people try to tell you, if it were such a paradise, everyone would go there. Not as bad as Cuba, but here in South America, a lot of people struggle and it's both cultural and economical. As Dr K said it's completely reasonable and understandable they think that way even if it's quite dumb. But it's because they are not used to looking back over their shoulder and be able to choose to go to the 2nd bathroom in the house. Or sometimes even be doubtful on deciding what meal they are having tonight for dinner, if any. Had a recent fight with my mom over things over the last 18 to 20 years, and it ended with her saying she wasn't gonna change. Once I got that in my mind, I don't care anymore about any complaints or frustration. I mention this in relation to Destiny's question asking how would you approach or start the conversation with someone who is so set onto pursuing happiness as the acquisition of material things. My take on it is that sometimes you could try, but overall, the mindset of that person is set to always get more things, and often times due to their opportunities in the place they are in, their life decisions, ignorance on finance, etc. they're often times in a hole they can't get out of (several debts, or never finishing a project like a house, etc). That person is always going to put that in front, and say they aren't happy because they don't have money. They have yet to experience "the good life" and trying to get more money they get more than 1 job, thus reducing their life just to that and losing the ability to have time for themselves. "I don't have time to exercise", so on and so forth. It's not until they are truly defeated by the fact when they realize that the pursuit they were on didn't yield good results and they are still feeling like shit. Whenver they are conscious and stop caring so much about having things (aka they don't give a fuck anymore and they stop trying as hard), that is the opening to let them see that all that spent time was somewhat of a waste or badly managed.
