Someone went around interviewing dying patients.They said they never regreted making more money or working harder.They said they regreted not spending time with the people they loved,not traveling more and not relating to the world around them.

One can not live by seeing life thur anothers eyes
One must live by being which they seek though years of thought
For it is indeed life which one has to step alone, becomeing that which the movement of life steps thur.
For in opening a door inwhich no key fits does a person truely pass into freedom.
It is but in the minds thought this feeling called freedom lives

For only will you feel this freedon in a dream
For it is in blood and blood alone that freedom can be boorn

In fact, wasn’t St. Vincent de Paul also a socialite who featured in a series of sex chromographs?

Good article though. I agree, wealth is wasted on the rich D:

Thanks…

I could write a lot on the various different type of celebrities…and question whether that’s what they wanted to do when someone asked them aged 5 what were they going to do when they grew up…

The problem is this - I have a reasonable fist of what noble causes Angelina Jolie, say, pushes. Where Paris Hilton is concerned, it’s hard for the joke to be lost if, even allowing for all that coverage, I’m completely unaware of any direct or indirect charity work she does. That would sort of indicate to me that she’s not necessarily overwhelmingly successful any any endeavour such as you describe. Most of my reading of gossip magazines happens at the dentist. Maybe I should suggest they change their subscriptions.

Great read. Nice one, Winds.

Question:

Are you suggesting that celebrities do nothing but provide for gossip columns? The celebrity you mention may well have a method to her madness. Directly and indirectly she syphons a huge amount of money to charity. And putting on a show for a gossip columnist improves her ability to draw attention to whatever noble causes she wishes. The joke is on the gossip columnist and her readers, and the charities are laughing all the way to the bank. Celebrities are doing something useful with their money.
