Not at all. Money gives only the temporary moments of happiness.

The article is incomplete in so much as it does not state as to what brings happiness. Since the basics are missing, the results are bound to be one sided and erroneous.

I read the article twice before commenting upon it. Perhaps you may reproduce the exact words which state the factors which bring happiness.

I am also aware that there are many articles, some by you; which answer my questions. Am I supposed to read all the articles of the serial before commenting?

You need money for existence. You need to pay your bills and eat. Happiness is gained not because you have money, but because you are more relaxed in your daily living. You don’t worry about what will be prepared on your table and how you will survive the everyday challenges.

Happiness, in this sense, is like getting a temporal satisfaction out of the material things you possess. However, the principle of man’s craving for unlimited wants and needs make daily little joys falter and seek for more material possession. This leads to the reality that, ”not everything can be bought by money.” There are still many factors to consider to achieve complete happiness.

One can be happy just watching the sea or sun set. So it is the way we look at the condition.

Money can buy comfort;excess money can buy luxary;it can save you from misery; but not from sorrow,or greed,or a calamity from striking;it can make you less sensitive to the joy of living each day in harmony with your fellow beings;less loving of your fellows;and less caring about your surrounding ..... How the heck can this buy any happiness?

Correct. True sense of happiness is within us.
