Now some people in the society think that "there is happiness with money". Some people even regard this view as a treasure. For money, they do not hesitate to betray their friends and themselves, and some even risk their lives to pursue money. Is it true that money is happiness? Is there really a necessary connection between money and happiness?
It is true that in today's society, survival, career and major events are inseparable from money. However, people should have higher spiritual pursuit. The meaning of life never lies in blindly pursuing money and being superstitious about it. People who indulge in the whirlpool of money worship will not only make themselves happy, but also worry about money. Why bother?
There are some famous sayings circulating abroad, such as "money can't buy time and true feelings". That's true. If a depressed person has countless family wealth, but her heart is empty and lonely, there is no one around to comfort her, no one to talk to and no spiritual pillar. What's the point of this life? How happy is she? It can be seen that money is not everything, and it is not necessarily happiness.
Are those rich people happy in capitalist society? If you are afraid of being stolen, robbed, kidnapped, cheated, and sometimes you have to be careful of your desperate efforts, what happiness can there be? I'm afraid all the beggars in the street are happier than him. No wonder there is a saying that "poverty is free, and wealth is worrying".
Also, in fables, you may see a story that a rich king ordered the happiest people in the country to exchange shirts with him so that he could be happy. As a result, the happiest person is a beggar who is all black. The king wanted to exchange shirts with him, but he was too poor to even have a shirt. This proves once again that happiness does not necessarily belong to the rich.
Happiness is not created by money. Money can only satisfy people's temporary wishes, but it cannot be satisfied forever. Now the country is stepping up its anti-corruption efforts, which shows that there are still many greedy people in our country today, and finally they are caught in the crossfire and punished by law. Aren't Wang and Chen Xitong good examples? Did they get happiness as a result?
It can be seen that happiness and money are not twin sisters, money and happiness are not necessarily related, and money is not necessarily happy. A happy life depends on your own development.
