Unhappiness can sometimes be tracked by a paper trail.

As brilliant a business man and philantropist Getty was, his savy and accumen about life was not passed on to his grandchildren. A few of them led very difficult lives despite their connection to the Getty fortune.

Material things are fun to have and great for entertainment value, but the quality and richness of life comes from a lifetime of experiences, big and small, and both good and bad. The experience of living is enough to keep me looking forward to each day.

It can all go poof in a blink of an eye so always be thankful for what you have.
