It is a truth universally acknowledged that money is a must in people’s life. However, a question, as is raised in the picture, needs to be discussed: Does money mean happiness? In the picture, a man is standing beside a box of happiness, only to find that happiness is “not for sale”.

Over the last 3 decades , we have enjoyed unparalleled
economic growth. We have better homes, cars, holidays, jobs, education and above all health. According to standard economic theory, this should have made us happier. But surveys show otherwise. More people suffer from depression, and crime, another indicator of dissatisfaction is also much higher.
We all want a society in which people are as happy as possible and in which each person’s happiness counts equally. It seems likely that the extra comforts we now enjoy have increased our happiness somewhat, but that deteriorating relationships have made us less happy.
If we want a happier society, we should focus most on the experiences which people value for their intrinsic worth and not because other people have them, above all, on relationships in the family, at work and in the community. We live in an age of unprecedented individualism. The highest obligation many people feel is to make the most of themselves, to realize their potential. This is a terrifying and lonely objective. To become happier, we have to change our inner attitudes as much as our outward circumstances. We should have a policy for promoting a healthier philosophy of life for youngsters and for helping them to distinguish between superficial pleasures and real happiness. It would inspire us in our daily lives to take more pleasure in the happiness of others, and to promote it. In this way we might all become less self-centered and happier.
