"By the way, am I the only one here who thinks so or the truths (truth tellers) are always alone:)?" The answer to the first part of your question is "yes", and the answer to the second part is "no".

That experience is something that can't be bought or calculated on a balance sheet. If someday they wind up being worth more than what we have in them (highly doubtful), then that's an unintended fringe benefit. 2.) Try to get over your obsession with measuring every aspect of life with a cash register. I don't think I've ever met a happy, contented person whose primary motivation in life was the pursuit of profit.
