That's true, but unethical action of OTHERS makes others lose, not necessarily us.

a maid? That's what kids are for. Chores are essential to grow a kid correctly. Bigger house? just have more kids.

All my kids have brothers and sisters.... and the same mom (that's important).

Wealth is always relative to who you hang around. It's amazing how many family members resent success and distance themselves when they realize you are rich (relative to them) and they should have listened. "must be nice...."

If Christ offers us "living water" so we never thirst again (John 4), Buddha simply offers us greater personal control so we can pretend we're not thirsty in the first place.

Unfortunately, that is incorrect. Inner peace = happy life. If you let your spouse determine your spiritual state you are a hostage for life.....but being around happy people does mask a lot of personal deficiencies....
