Everyone Says They’d Choose Happiness… Until It’s Real
A wealthy man stood watching a poor family on the street.
They had nothing.
But they were laughing.
He sighed:
“What’s the point of being rich…
if my home is full of arguments?
My wife feels distant.
My kids don’t even look at me.”
He shook his head:
“I’d rather be poor like them…
and happy.”
Beat.
Suddenly—
a spirit appears.
“Done. Let’s switch.”
“You’ll be poor.
Begging on the streets…
but your family will always be happy.”
“And they’ll be rich like you…
but lose all their joy.”
Silence.
The man blinks.
“…Wait.”
Beat.
“Uh… I didn’t mean it like that…”
“…being rich and a little miserable is fine.” 😭
