Does Wealth Mean Happiness?
When people talk about "wealth", they often mean money. In fact, wealth is not equal to money and money is only one part of wealth. If we look up the word "wealth" in the dictionary, it means riches, material possessions in all their variety.
To most of us, wealth is attractive. If someone possesses a large amount of wealth he has money and power. Money is a common medium of exchange in all civilized countries, and it has become the symbol of wealth today.
Usually people think that wealth means happiness. You can buy almost anything you like, for instance, luxurious cars, magnificent mansions, and all kinds of services. To a country, it means power. To possess wealth itself is neither wrong nor right. The key point is who possesses it. To some people, happiness comes from wealth. They argue that money can bring them a luxurious and comfortable life, and thus happiness. However, other people emphasize the importance of happiness. Without happiness, it is impossible for one to enjoy life.
In conclusion, nothing should be carried to extremes. Wealth and happiness are not contradictory. When we are happy, we can also be wealthy. As an old saying goes, "money is not everything." Be happy first, then you can work harder and earn more money.
