Would you want to be Mayweather?

[DaxxKahn]

Your relationship is going to either be good or bad with or without being an athlete or celeb......

outside of maybe drug use or just abandoning your family there is no reason for the status to matter...

a large problem in many aspects is jealousy and money

should you decline sucess because a family member is jealous? or should you dislike the person because they don't give you a portion of their made money?..

who is wrong here?

I wouldn't want to be Mayweather because he seems to be a shut-in, he rarely goes out and doesn't have a lifestyle that would make me happy. I don't need/want expensive cars and a big house to make me happy, I make my own happiness. That being said he lives a good life for being a successful boxer.

I more less agree there,if it hadnt been what we all got to see,it would have been something else. Hell,the only time my Aunt is nice to me,is if she's wondering how much money she can squeeze me for. And she has a custom built house on 10 acres of prime PA property. I mean I have a nice house,but I aint got 10 acres of property,but if she decides to be nice to me,she wants something.

This questioin is about immortality, versus bliss and happiness. "Immortality" being that of floating your name in public beyond the scope of one's natural life, and "happiness" being; of having select people, loved ones, touching and enriching one's life until the day it's for quits.

The true nature of man is to extend its influence to its very maximum. The extent of this influence proportionately dictates the magnitude of its immortality. ... fatherhood, public service, public office, leadership, legendary feats, martyrdom, sainthood and etc.. are examples where one can float one's name. The magnitude achieved and consequent dedication put forth in achieving the same is the one that defines the man.

A no brainer then, everyone should not dismiss a personal situation like that of PBF, the first statement, as disagreeble, for making a name is only for the very blessed, even if it entails at times, being damned from familial bliss.

I don't agree at all with that. The true nature of man is to simply eat, sleep, poop and fornicate. Having heavy influence can often times make these simple tasks more difficult.

LOL!!!

However, it is a good thing Abe (and other men of importance) saw further than eat, sleep, poop, and fornicate, otherwise we'll have a totally different world today.
