The vacuum of money in the trap of desire.

Today and as always, most people spend almost all of their time looking for money to survive. The hope of achieving material wealth encompasses the belief of a higher quality of life filled with happiness.

It is undeniable that economic success solves many of the problems by meeting basic and security needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. In this sense, it eliminates the uncertainty of the instinctual and vital, giving room to concerns of another nature.

Modern psychology has immense treatises of theories in this regard, backed by sensible statistics that summarize the normality of human behavior in different roles of the individual in society. As well as studies of singular or extreme cases. I wonder, who will be the happiest? The very poor, those who struggle on both ends, or the obscenely rich?

Money is an indispensable instrument to achieve happiness in the contemporary conception. A delusional thought in whatever condition you are in; Well, man always wants more.

Who wants a delicacy more? Who eats it often, or who has never eaten it? Who has never tasted the delicacy, perhaps or interest beyond curiosity or opportunity? Whoever frequently tastes the delicacy, perhaps, does not think about the delicacy of the delicacy, they may even be bored. How complex we really are.

These insights can be extrapolated to other areas where need and desire are debited on the wheel of life. Where the means and the ends are confused. Is money a means or an end? And what is the true relationship of this with happiness?

To begin with, the definition of happiness is quite subjective and elusive, which has changed over the centuries, giving rise to various schools of thought. Of course, here it is not intended to recapitulate the postulates of the same, rather address it with the breadth and common sense.

What reason would a famous billionaire have for committing suicide? Someone will argue that a leading and statistically insignificant question is misplaced. Then consider the news of show business stars at the zenith of their artistic careers, with fame and money, topping the headlines starring in absurd deaths. At least they have a media impact. Although it is known that high suicide rates occur in the most industrialized countries, that is, with a supposed greater welfare state.

There are also suicides among the poor, but on a smaller scale. Perhaps it is because the most precious asset they have is life itself.

The great digital encyclopedia of the Internet user defines happiness as the emotion that occurs in a conscious being when he believes he has reached the desired goal. However, I think that this belief is the source of great evil. The market is based on the invention of unlimited desires on needs limited by nature itself in order to keep the productive system that sustains the consumer society going. Unbridled materialism to the detriment of man.

So what happened to the famous suicide, did they not achieve their desired goals? In theory, they enjoyed the full happiness bought with money. Mansions, luxury cars, fine jewelry, lavish dinners, trips to exotic places, fantasies come true. In short, anything that a poor person can only imagine and even wish for.

Something is wrong. In addition, it is not necessary to generalize and stigmatize who became a millionaire as a potential suicide, No! In reality, the argument only wants to draw attention to the feeling of emptiness behind the money trap.

If you're not filthy wealthy, put yourself in their shoes for a moment. You wake up envious, most of them approach you in order to benefit from some royalty or loan that they do not think to pay, in their logic, you do not need it more than they. At worst, they conspire to rob you, even kill you. Consequently, you are left alone, emptiness and mistrust take over you. Unfortunately, you cannot eat without being satisfied, on pain of getting sick from gluttony. Nor can you push your physical limits without resorting to miracle drugs that can even kill you in the long run.

The prospect of such a life is grim, although I do not doubt that there will be exceptions. Wealthy people in addition to being rich in spirit. Those who are not far from the wealth of the poor, by sharing the wisdom of their true condition and understand that happiness is a state of fulfillment when you achieve what you need, and not what you want.

There is nothing wrong with making money, but never forget that money is another means of seeking true wealth.
