TheRelationshipbetweenWealthandHappiness

Todaywelovemoneymorethaneverundertheillusionthatmoneycanbuyuseverything,freeingusfromanywant.Withourdesiressatisfied,wethoughtwewillbecomehappier.Aseconomicgrowthreallymakeushappierandwealthreallymeanhappiness?

I’mperfectlywillingtoagreethattheabsolutelevelofwealthdoesn’tmakeushappier.First,togetasenseofit,let'sseeparadoxesoftoday'ssociety:

todayweeatmorefood,butlessnutritionorevenpoisioninit;wehavebiggerhouse,butsmallerfamily;todayweenjoymoreconvenience,butlesstime;wehavelearnthowtomakealiving,butnotalife.Second,asyoucansee,theincreaseofwealthdoesn'tnecessarilybringsforththerealhappiness.Asahumanbeing,weallhaveourbasicneed,food,clothes,shelter,children'seducation,etc,whilewealth,withmypersonaldefinition,differentfromthebasicneed,istothescalethat'sfarbeyondtheseneeds.Somepeoplehavetheinsatiableappetitetomoneyandadeterminationtogetitbyallmeans,evensacrificetheirmorals.Wealthofthiskindwillbewononlywiththecostoflossofpeace,joy,evenfamilyandlover.Third,Moneyisnotalmighty.Atleast,wecan'tbuyourhealth,love,peaceandjoywithmoney.

Butthatdoesn’tmeanthatchangesinwealthhavenoeffectuponhappiness.Thethoughtisthatlivinginaneconomywherethingsare,iswhatcreatesthathighlevelofcontentment.It’snotthelevelofwealth,it’sthedirectionthatlevelisheadingin.Soasasummary,wealthandhappiness,people'sattitudecounts.Whenwearefreefromourbasicwants,let'sjustenjoyourdailylifetothefullextent,andhaveamorecaringmindtoourneighborsandcommunityandtothosewhoareneedy.Isupposewiththisattitude,wewillbehappy,evenmuchhappierthanthosewhocontrolagreatamountofwealth.

ModernTechnology:

Astimegoesby,mobilephone,thecomputeranditsInternetaccesssurroundusbecomesanimportantpartofourdailylife.Andwithallthedifferentinventionsanddiscoveriesthroughouttheyears,ourstandardoflivinghasbeenaffectedbothmentallyandphysically.

TheShrinkingFamilies
