Some people in society now believe that "having money means happiness." Some people even regard this view as a treasure. For the sake of money, they will betray their friends and themselves, and some even risk their lives to pursue money. Does having money equal happiness? Is there really an inevitable connection between money and happiness?

It is true that in today's society, money is indispensable to survive, to establish a career, and to accomplish great things. However, people should have higher spiritual pursuits. The meaning of life is never to blindly pursue money or be superstitious about money. Those who are addicted to the whirlpool of "money worship" will not only not make themselves happy, but will also be troubled by money. What fun is there?
There are some famous sayings circulating in foreign countries, such as "Money cannot buy time and true love". Indeed. Suppose a melancholy person has countless wealth, but her heart is empty and lonely. There is no one around her to comfort her, no one to talk to, and no spiritual support. What's the point of such a life? What happiness does she have? It can be seen that money is not everything and does not necessarily guarantee happiness.
In a capitalist society, are all the wealthy people happy? What kind of happiness is there if you are always worried about being stolen, robbed, kidnapped, or defrauded, and sometimes you have to be careful about your own life? I'm afraid the beggars on the street are happier than he is. No wonder Youdao is "poverty is at ease, wealth is full of worries".
Also, in fables, you may see this story: A rich king ordered to find the happiest person in the country and exchange shirts with him, so that he could be happy, and the result was the best. The happy man was a beggar covered in black. The king wanted to exchange shirts with him, but he was so poor that he didn't even have a shirt. This once again proves that happiness does not necessarily belong to those with money.
Happiness is not created by money. Money can only satisfy people's temporary wishes, but cannot provide eternal satisfaction. Now that the country has stepped up its efforts to combat corruption, this shows that there are still many people who are obsessed with money in our society today. They eventually came to light and were punished by law. Aren't Wang Baosen and Chen Xitong good examples? Did they get happiness as a result?
It can be seen that happiness and money are not twin sisters. There is no inevitable connection between money and happiness. Money does not necessarily lead to happiness. A happy life must be developed by oneself.
