RE: Money buy happines?
Money can buy you things that make you happy but happiness as a feeling, no money can not buy that, that has to come from within. Example, if you love to cook and see a great cookware set and you buy it, that can make you happy. If your a fisherman and want to live on a boat, that can make you happy. Money is related to material things. Yes, you can donate money and feel good that you helped a cause but eventually that money buys something for someone. Happiness is a state of chi, inner peace, that can only be achieved if you see the beauty in your inner and outerself and that which is around you, without fear,judgement or anger. Not to say you can't be afraid, or you can't judge or be mad, but inner peace will not be felt, if you are consistantly in those states.
True, but really the phrase should be, "Money can be exchanged for things that generate happiness". Money ITSELF is useless, just plastic or metal, but its exchanged for things like food, clothes, entertainment, etc which creates happiness.
I dont know when I get my cheque at the end of the month im pretty pleased. The saying Money cant buy happiness applies to very few people.
