Jon:
You asked:
> Being happy about having lots of money, IMO, is less moral than being happy
> about saving someone's life. Would you agree?
No. Happiness is an individual thing. I wouldn't presume to say that
one person's happiness is less moral than another's so long as
both are law abiding. I think you've set up a false choice. Bill Gates
has lots of money, but in earning it has saved countless lives
through advances in computer technology. Also I think you'd be
hard pressed to argue that those with money haven't done "good"
with it. The biggest waster of money is government, not to mention
the greatest killer.
