What's the reality about money and happiness?

Sorry for being away for like two days, promise to be here yesterday but could not make it after coming back from the health center. My health is more important , I cannot but rest after taking my medication, even though I could not make it to be here , you are all always in my heart. I'm better now 😊😊

Now, to the purpose of the post...

The majority say that having money doesn't guarantee your happiness, I.e it does not go hand in hand but it helps..

Now the question is, can money buy happiness?

Everyone needs money and that's a simple fact. But at times there some people who lose their jobs and even lose their home, now saying to those people that "money doesn't bring happiness" that's could be cruel and thoughtless because to them that is unfortunate to be part of the victims, money tends to be the continuity of their normal daily life and that's where they find their true happiness. So I will say that money is one of the factors that brings happiness.

What about those people who have their job? Many people feel delighted in the game, they sacrifice their whole life in the pursuit of money, the work for hours, since they find passion in doing that, we should let them do it, because to them, money serve as a great motivator to them in achieving better things in life.

We also hear some stories whereby those people who work in their whole life in pursuit of money end up having problems because they don't have time for their family or their friends. Their value in life is leaned on one side, and as time goes on, they will get to knowe that the only friend they have is money. So in this kind of situation, can money buy them happiness? , the truth remains that, in this case, money and happiness don't seem to work hand in hand.

Now, between a person's life and a life spent pursuing money and possession, where then lies the balance? How can we balance the stress?

Most times we label people according to how much money they have and that's why value is quite hard in our society, we don't even question those values because we pretend not to see them, we only realize that money cannot define someone's value when someone we love face hard time, and money doesn't flow in as it used to be. it only people with their good characteristics, their big hearts, and warm personalities that will stay even when the money disappeared.

Sometimes people we call friends disappear when we don't have money because they are afraid that poverty may be contagious, or are they afraid to give loans to their friend who is in need? And you'll begin to ask yourself, are they really friends? Or they are people who stay with you because of the interest they'll get from you? When the money is no more they'll disappear because they could benefit from you no more.

Envy is also another thing, some people will be sad because their friend becomes rich suddenly " why him, why not me?, this is not fair" that's what some people will say, though I'm not surprised with this because I've seen people like that. There's another intense-rooted sentiment that if someone is rich, it probably they got it through abusing someone in any way. Some people get nasty pleasure when a rich person loses their money. Yet, if someone had lots of money, that person will use the what money to do things that will keep the spins of the economy rolling. Now it is obvious that our whole attitude toward money is a very myriad issue.

Now, what's money to us in reality?

It's obvious that money and happiness don't forbid each other, I've come to think of it that's it's delegates freedom, freedom for you to do all things, to do what we want and be our true selves without strain, nevertheless, we can still do all these things without money. you can gain your freedom without money.

With money, we can make good things happen to other people by substantially helping them, so money and happiness go hand in hand in those situations.

So don't dispute me, the whole thing I'm talking about is that " money does not guarantee happiness, but there's are some things that can't be solve without money, that's why I say, they don't forbid each other, they work hand in hand in some cases, and in some cases, it's vice versa"

And I will love to ask, what's your sentiment about money and happiness? your view might differ from mine.
