MAJIC Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have always had a theory that the Mega Rich amongst us such as Thaksin,Murdoch,Maxwell (while alive) Gates,Soros etc,have a fear of dying and hence they cacoon themselves in unbelievable wealth in the hope or belief that they are too important to be a mere mortatal and die like all of us?

slapout Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I think there would be a lot more billionaires in the world, if the fear of death were the motivation to wealth. Death comes to all via the shut down of the vital body functions, thus we all have the common trait of being mere mortals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 One of the things money cannot buy is eternal life, it can certainly enhance the years we have though. Another thing the rich cannot buy is the lives of their children. They seem to suffer from drug overdoses and suicide at a similar rate to the bourgeoisie.

scorecard Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 In regard to thaksin it's well established that he is very superstitious. Some years back somebody rushed in and smashed the highly revered shrine on the Hyatt Erawan corner in Bangkok. Many Thais believed it was in fact thaksin who engineered the smashing of the shrine, in the belief that it would stop his run of 'bad luck'!

LuckyLew Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) His biggest fears is people no longer listening to him and not being able to hear his own voice Conversation in Thaksins hotel room ... From Thaksin "mirror mirror on the wall, who is the smartest of them all" No response from the mirror From Thaksin "mirror mirror on the wall, who is the smartest of them al" No response from the mirror From Thaksin "Hello housekeeping ... I need a new mirror, the one in my room does not work properly" Edited March 31, 2010 by LuckyLew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If I knew this was going to be another Thaksin thread I wouldn't have bothered posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
