Yes of Course. Money is not a source of happiness. Because to be happy is actually quite simple, namely by always being grateful for what we have and always thinking positively. Whereas the things that make a person unhappy are when he becomes greedy and always feels lacking and he always has negative thoughts.
Although money is not a source of happiness, money is one way that can bring someone to happiness. that is, a person who is always grateful to God Almighty when he succeeds in getting money and uses that money to buy the things he wants.
You're contradicting yourself. First, you say money is not "a" source of happiness, then later you say "
Although money is not a source of happiness, money is one way that can bring someone to happinessYou're wrong though. Money is a source of happiness. Emphasis on "a source", not "the source". It's very hard for you not to be happy when you don't have money, especially in the world we live in today where everything requires money.
You can't pay bills, no electricity, no water, no rent and you'll be happy? C'mon, let's be realistic.
Imagine you not having money for your kid's fees and you think you'll be happy? It doesn't mean you'll get depressed and all, but there's no way you'll be okay if you don't have money to afford your basic needs.
Some things gives happiness, money is certainly among those things.
If money is mentioned as a source of happiness then of course all happiness will be focused on money. Then I did not perceive money as such.
I prefer to liken happiness to an ocean. And yes, we know that many rivers flow and eventually all rivers lead to the sea. Now, money is likened to a flowing river that can deliver water to the sea. There are so many rivers that end into the sea. then there are so many ways and ways that lead to happiness and money one of them. But money is not the source of happiness but only one way that brings and flows to happiness.
this is what i mean. Money, Love, High rank (position/power), popularity. It's all like a river that leads to the ocean. and well that means that all of them can also lead us to reach happiness.
There are many people who have a lot of money, a beautiful wife, a magnificent house and a high position but they are not happy. Even his life is filled with fear and he finds it difficult to find peace in his life. In fact, many surveys about people who experience insomnia are not because it is difficult economically. they have a lot of money but they can't sleep because their nerves are strained by too much thinking and the calm in their life is gone. So happiness is a complex thing. Easy but hard. Easy to get for those who are good at being grateful for life. and hard to come by for dirty-hearted people who are always greedy, prejudiced, and always jealous of others and so on.
sorry if my words are difficult to understand. Because sometimes it's hard to pour the right words to convey what I mean. But I feel that actually what you mean and what I mean are the same. it's just that the method of delivery and the method of disclosure are slightly different. thus giving birth to a different meaning.
