Dear Jennny,
I totally agree with your view:"There are a lot of things in the world which we can't buy it with money! "
Such as happiness, health, friendship, personal experience ect.
However, we may not so happy if we do not have money or just in poor condition. Without money, how could we deal with our hunger, thirst, wearing,housing and so on? If we get sick, how could we be happy without money nowadays?
Anyway, happy is important and money also counts.
Quoting from [jennny]:You should not set your expectations too high for the amount to money or riches you wish to have. One who sets their expectations too high, is almost always disappointed. Instead, you should cherish what you have, and seek to improve yourself from within, and not measure your personal worth by the size of your money.
Even if you are poor, you should still feel satisfied in your life. Satisfaction, happiness, and the meaning of your life come from within yourself and not from money or riches of the world.There are a lot of things in the world which we can't buy it with money! Do you think so?
So please try to slow down and turn around, to see your wife and child, maybe you will find the most precious thing in the world which you forgot for a long time!
in this world,there have many case about wealthy but not happy.how we treat our life?
it seems that if there have enough money to support life ,money can not bring happiness.
but if someday be a wealthy man ,they are force to the reality should greedy on money,the y never feel satified with what they have.they need to run the money well to make them ont turn poor person.
they afraid the life.in wealthy family there also have some money wrangle.lack of love.so less of happiness.
what ever the position you are ,we shold know how to self relax in this world which full of pression.![[em1]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_smile.gif){kind=icon}

Hello there,
First of all i have to say you touched a Topic that has been asked througout Centures and Millenia, and yet still very few have found the right answer to it.
I believe that any man or woman from any religion or country basically tries to find their personal peace with themselfs, but its easier said then done.
We all must make a journey, through life, but in reality it is in to the depths of our own conciousness, as we mature, with enough luck, we are able to see who we are and what we are, and only by knowing that we truly understand our needs and satisfaction.
Most of us all are slave to our own desires, and senses. Its like a barrier that stops us from finding the innerself, cause when we do, then the senses and desires have lost their right, you have to imagine them as the Enemy that control the castle, and blinding the king to keep their power. Because of them we try to find the happiness outside of us, in worldly matters, such as money and fame.
The only for most of us, is to actually make the journey, once we have reached that goal of the fake desires, we truly understand if the given circumstances arise, that there is no end to it, so therefore many either get lost, or turn around and search for the inner happiness.
Here is a little story to picturize what I mean.
Once a great King Asoka (from India about 2300 years ago), need a guide for his son, for a journey that his son had to do to enter the adulthood, for which he needed a trustworthy and skilled man. He asked his advisors to assemble three man, a well known Monk, a successful Common man(Businessman), and a outcast (Criminal who had commited the highest of all crimes).
In his cities market place they assembled croweded with people, almost no place to put a step. King Asoka then gave all three men a tablet filled with 30 gold biscuets, they had to cross the market place through the crowed, to the other side, without having to lose a single gold piece and without hiting or cursing anyperson the encounter.
First to go was the Monk, after the monk reached the other side, all of the gold pieces where gone, yet the monk didn´t curse or hit anyone.
Second to go was the Commoner, he hit people to make his way clears, cursed and pushed, once he finally made it to the other side only half of the gold was still there.
Third was the Outcast, he made it through the crowed in record time, yet never cursed, hit or pushed anyone, and to everyones amazment all the gold pieces where still there.
When the king announced that the outcast will be the guide for the Prince into adulthood, everyone was shocked, and asked why him, complaining that he is a thief, murderer, rapist, fallen king etc.
The king then said "only the one who has walked the path of bad and realized his mistakes knows what is good"
"The monk speaks of good but doesn't know the bad and never had face real life challenges"
"The commoner is selfish, he will hurt anyone who stands in his way or run away from any challenges"
"But the Outcast who has been the lowest of low and highest of high, and now pushed aside from the world by his own misdeeds, who lives in regret only to correct his mistakes is the only one who knows the true path, because he has seen all of life that there is to see not only from the outside but within himself, because he knows how to remain peaceful in any situation, since he has already encountered it."
Only a man who has traveled and lost his way knows how to journey on the right path onces he finds himself again.
