If I can manage that, I don't care if we are rich or poor, what I do for a living, what kind of house I live in, if my wife is gorgeous in the eyes of the world (she will definitely be beautiful to me, because I will love her. And yes, I know how corny that sounds, but it is still the truth.) or any of the other things that people have as goals.
So, I've already stated my opinion that I see a lot of hope and (true) meaning in this girl's future. But I'll say that I'm with you as far as where I stand, Marduk. I never wanted to marry a drop-dead gorgeous girl (girls like that intimidate me, to be honest). My wife is beautiful enough for me, and I'm happy with her; I wouldn't change a thing. And I never wanted to be a multi-millionaire, be famous, or win a Nobel prize. I just want a job that is satisfying and that provides for my family, including leaving me time to spend with them. And I want close friends, but not popularity. In short, I want a good life, but not necessarily an easy one or a fabulous one.

Also, this is just awful. I hope that these sort of attitudes are dissappearing [

Alas, as the population steadily increases, eradicating unfavorable attitudes only becomes more difficult. With over 6.5 billion people in the world, there's someone who believes
whatever you like (within reason, of course). In fact, there's usually
a lot of someones who believe any given thing.
