Beyond the surface-level pithiness of the joke, the point is that having money may not guarantee happiness, but it makes it a lot easier to distract oneself with viscerally pleasant experiences and engage in new hobbies that may in fact lead to genuine happiness.
- mc32 7y agoHmmm. Bourdain, Robin Williams. I don’t think you can distract yourself from depression.
- dunstad 7y agoRobin Williams actually had a degenerative brain disease. I know a lot of the news didn't wait long enough for that information about his situation to come out, but it's on Wikipedia.
- zestyping 7y agoI appreciate that it says you never SEE an unhappy person riding a jet ski. Whether or not it generates happiness, money can make happiness more visible. That's worth a moment of reflection.
