Satisfied.



The passing of Robin Williams saddened me. This was an actor who I grew up watching and sincerely enjoyed his work. I never met him; I do not know (nor pretend to know) about his specific battles and circumstances, but the incident raised a couple of questions in my mind. (1) Is the money ever enough? (2) Is success ever enough? It is easy for me and others look at the lives of celebrities, and conclude that they truly have it all. There is no way that they lack anything. Some have financial success, properties and possessions, are doing the work that they love, have a spouse and children and their health. With all of that, one must be satisfied with life. What more could a person need or ask for?
