Win it big or at least thinking about it

Wouldn't it be nice to walk away with a couple millions from the lottery? Yeah, it would be nice. Talking to the cashier at my local Turkey Hill brought up some points about the lottery. I posted a while back asking how much someone is willing to pay for hope. For one such person, hope was five hundred dollars in lottery tickets. Yes at two dollars a pop well you can do the math. That is a lot of money when you are unemployed to be spending on hope. I guess times are hard and people are desperate. In that same line of thinking, psychics work in the same way. Giving people some form of consolation. We live in a world where there is a lot of fears. Fear of the unknown, of death, of isolation, of never finding happiness, and because of this fear don't mind spending a few dollars just to ease our mind. It preys on our vulnerability. We want to know the what-ifs in life. I don't need to remind you to not get carry away though because the feeling will come back. When you get your hopes up and have it come down only to repeat a cycle again ask yourself instead of fantasizing a quick escape (it's hard I know!) how about finding ways to better your life?
