Money and Happiness Reloaded

Money and Happiness.

Mwangi Amos

With $100 you are probably able to take yourself for a day out, you can take your favorite food and as well buy a pair of shocks.  Maybe, this makes you happy! On the other side, another person may have a roof over them, they got something to cover their naked body and they don't go hungry. To them, this may be defined as happiness. As it can be seen from these two different scenarios, happiness and money got a deeper relationship. Let us try and discuss further this comparison in a much deeper way in this article.

v  The Reality.

As much as money is concerned and how beautiful it makes our life, there is a lot that money can't do. Money will build you a magnificent house but there may never be found any peace in that house! Money may give you every kind of fashion that come up, but on the other hand, your body might be too big to bring out the desired outfit. Hence no happiness in this case. You may have a lot of money to give your family anything they need, be it a mansion home, high-class vehicles, a great adventure, or an out to their country of choice. On the contrary, you may have a nagging wife or a stubborn husband who is always drunk and cheating with every kind of lady out there. In this case, will you be happy? The answer is no, you will rather be depressed and hate life despite having all the money with you.

v  Further Analysis

Money is good, but it can't buy happiness as the say goes. Having people living around you and even supporting you on what you do, and encouraging you to do better is something money cannot do. Having obedient children and intelligent too is virtue money won't give us. Human happiness is a cycle that depends not only on money but on so many other parameters. It's therefore very important to dictate what happiness is for you. If your happiness comes from helping others, use the resource you may have to do so. Not necessarily by the use of money, some of these people need your advice, guidance, or even your prayers.

Never let money raise your pride and you treat people with arrogance, remain humble despite how much money you make in life. Money will not pick you up if you happen to fall, it's the people around you that will do so. Use the power of money to create happiness for you and those within your vicinity.

In conclusion, a source of income alone can't bring happiness, happiness is defined from so many dimensions. A caring life partner will not be bought by money, an outstanding character will not be brought about by money. Peace of mind, healthy, and morals among others are virtues that money cannot give. We need to understand that money is one of the parameters that define the cycle of human happiness. This being said, make sure you use the money to bring happiness, and let it create an environment where life is enjoyable and where people can co-exist in harmony.
