Money is an illusion while wisdom is the reality. People are running behind money, but they don't know that, the money won't give them happiness. Its only a beacon which can lead you to the happiness temporarily but staying happy depends on your own wisdom. How you see things determines your mind set. No one has ever born happy, rather everyone born with a loud cry.
Money can't fulfill all desires, it can fulfill one or two, but after sometime you'll get over them. The permanent way of living a happy life is to stay content. Life is unfair, full of miseries indeed, but we are still here. So, make a choice to be be content. Thank GOD for all you have. Money can be earned by anyone and anytime. But what makes a person special is his mindset to see life and to be satisfied with it :)
That's how I see life. I don't expect more from anyone, I do things and I get over them. I provide quality and recieve quality in return. i don't want more. I am content that's why I am happy :)
