Money = Happiness?

The saying goes: Money cannot buy you happiness. That's true right? Sure. Its very true. But I say that money amplifies certain emotions that a person experiences. Say for instance a person is lonely and longing for some companionship, being broke on top of that increases the sadness of that emotion and makes it seem worse than it is. if a person feels really stressed about their academics, not having as much income as you would like increases the stress level.

So if money isn't the key to happiness, then what is? I think I have an idea of what it is. I believe that Love and/or being wanted/needed is where happiness lies. Because if you take a look at good relationships the person always says "they are my better half" or "the best thing that has ever happened to me." So I believe that the key to a person's happiness is in positive emotions from other people towards them.

So, next time you talk to someone or one of you're friends talk about how bad everything is going and how their fed up with certain things. Ask them, ask them about what's wrong and about their love life. I guarantee that they talk about bills or lack of finances and a lack of intimacy in their personal life.

Peace.
