day no. 14,051: everything has its problems

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11
10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. 11 When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
 
Everything has its problems. If you have money, you have the kind of problems people with money have. If you don't have money, you have the kind of problems people without money have. Some problems may be more preferable to others, but to imagine a world without problems where the bank accounts are greener is a false hope. The more you love your stuff, the less satisfied with your stuff you become and the more problems you create as you find yourself laboring to keep and protect the stuff of which you've grown tired.
