I don't know whether what I'm feeling other people are feeling it or am just having this feeling based on the country where I'm located, or am feeling this way because of age and responsibility. Before now everything was easy for the rich , poor, and middle class, you can even be happy without having any money with you. But this time it seems different, you can still have money but still their is is no inner joy. Now even the people around are not real and genuine but fake, can even betray for free. Is it that as the world is evolving people are changing too.
I think you should stop thinking over everything because that may even affect your health. However, we don't have to expect everything should be the same, the more we grow, the more everything around us continues to change, nothing seems to be the same because we think life is simple at a young age. Let me ask you a question, are you still chasing the dream of childhood? No, because we don't know that this life is this hard. We aren't following the same steps as our parents because a lot of things have changed, we are in the modern world, and we will continue to live as we understand it.
Furthermore, talking about age and responsibility. That makes a man weak, if you take too much responsibility for your family and do not earn enough money to handle it, you may find yourself in a situation you do not understand, and you are stressed. But you said there's no inner joy even though the person has money to be happy, for real? I'm not sure if something is bothering you. Op I wouldn't be sad if I had money, or is it because a lot of people will become your enemy after making money? When you make money, some of your friends will leave, others will turn against you, and some will come because your condition has changed.
If you have money, I suggest that you try to make yourself happy. You can do this by taking some time out of your day, eating some delicious meal outside, and going shopping. If you have enough money to go to a club and party, you should. We don't have to be sad all the time, so cheer up.
