I have a very clear thinking of myself as an awfully selfish person. No, perhaps I believe it.
The idea of people making money as the villain saying "Money can't buy happiness" and attempting to make it a universally accepted fact, is absolutely ridiculous!
I wish to punch that person right in the face who invented this absurd saying and make it look cool for rich-asses to use it and look all fabulous like a wise-ass.
Not being happy is your damn problem, and money doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with it.
Everyone wants money, worships money, and desires money; but in the end, whoever has it enough would look at money and say "Oh money, what a useless thing, you cannot buy me happiness!
Worthless people!
Heaven not being happy is your own damn individual inconvenience. That has nothing to do with having money or not. You must attain that peace of mind, that happiness with your own efforts.
Rather money is that very thing that can buy all your happiness.
One is unhappy for their own reason, for the pathetic and monotonous life they live, for being uneventful, for ignoring the importance of the combination of time and event.
Stop torturing yourself for pushing further and further for something that snatches your present from you.
It devastates me how people are always so lost in desires and expectations vs reality clash, that they forget to live.
Some people even lose themselves in the responsibilities and burdens of family, society, culture and all...like my parents.
It's not that I perceive with certainty, however as a human I believe they had hopes and dreams. I wonder if they are really happy just sacrificing
We millennials (especially those who belong to Bengali Culture like ours, reserved, conservative, and even religiously fanatic!) have been very awkward with our parents.
Putting aside every phenomenal uncertainty and daily circumstantial changes, one thing I have always been certain of in my life which has never deviated as far as I recall is-
I wanted to be that mysterious woman, who is single, going on trips every now and then having no regard for both the monetary issue and the time.
I adore marriage, bonds; however, I somehow also feel like I do not want one, I will not be able to be responsible entirely without leaving the life I want to dream of living for this.
Perhaps, I would have if the society here would be flexible, not corroborating the social, economical status of parents to find a partner for themselves.
So yes, I do not who made this comment about the nuisance level of luxury, but in this day and age, money can buy almost every happiness there is to buy.
The point is, happiness does not entirely depend on money. People can be just not happy while having a pack of money, which perhaps is the reason because they are not self-exploratory people, and unable to find happy time with thyself, only depending on external things, which are fleeting, for their happiness.
Money has nothing to do with it!
