Does money really bring happiness?

Money is an asset for every one of us and its presence is very important.But it is not the only absolute reason of happiness,money can buy us a nice house,cool car,the computer we are dreaming of.Money can buy the physical needs that bring psychological happiness for an interval of time may be long or short,for example when you have one dollar you can buy a bar of chocolate and be happy with it as long as you are eating it or you can buy a car that brings you the happiness of riding such a car for a month or a year and then you will get used to it after that.So money can bring happiness but not the only reason for happiness like some people thought.

But the real happiness comes from many sources and I believe that this sources can bring eternal happiness not only happiness to an interval of time,those sources are:

1-True love, to love and beloved by your partner that you can spend your life time with.

2-Children,to invest in them all what you are having in hand and build them a bright future so that you will be proud of them and they be proud of them one day.you can feel happy for their happiness and feel happy when you lean on them when you are growing older.

3-True friends,they bring great happiness when they are really true and when you sit,speak,laugh with them and feel that you have something that can be never bought by money

4-Respect of other people can not be bought by money but can bring you happiness when you are successful in your career path,friendly with all your colleagues and feel that every body respects and likes you.

5-Your health,being healthy can not be bought by money,many rich people are having health problems and can not be treated .

All of those things can be bought by money but bring happiness so money can not absolutely bring happiness,it may bring happiness and may not;if you are having money and dont have any of the above things then money is useless.You will feel like having alot of money in a drowning ship,can money save you then or bring you happiness?

Money can bring happiness and can also bring mystery and sadness if you use it in wrong way,if you spend your money in drinking liquors or taking drugs or gambling it might ruin the life,or if you dont feel the poor and needy ones and keep stuffing your own self,you will receive hate and envy from those people.

So,we can say briefly that money can bring happiness temporarily,their are some important things that you can not buy with money but they can bring you an eternal happiness.Money can also be the root of evil.
