"I know he's rich, but money can;t bu yhim happiness"
"IF I WAS RICH I WOULD BE HAPPY, LOL!"
It's a common interjection that someone makes when they are talking about celebrities or a lotery winner. Well, it may seem clever to try to disprove this old addage, but it's true.
Money does not buy happiness, money buys pleasure. Things like fancy food, or a big house don't make you happy, they just give you pelasure by removing minor pains in your life. Physical pleasure does not mean you will have mental happiness.
In this time of a sky-rocketing standard of living, it shines true more than ever. People may be buying millions of games, electronics, or other gadgets. But, people are also seeing psychiatrists in record numbers. We buy pills and self help books to make us happy.
They say the best things in life are free, and they are. Now go hug your children or something, I'm about to have sex with an expensive prostitute to mask the fact that my dad never hugged me.
