Are we greedy?
People are addicts to the newest thing. We buy things that we need to survive such as food, shelter and clothing, but we also buy wants to satisfy us such as new phone , new laptop , new jewelry etc ... Nothing is wrong with buying needs or wants. Some people love the feeling of buying something new. But money cannot buy you a family and true friends. While, money can cause you to be more stress free, it should not be a priority above family and friends. Those who choose money over life would probably be the people who end up lonely with no friends, love, or happiness.
Money can buy you a lot of things but happiness. Happiness comes from the inside. We love to be happy, we love to have a lot of money but both of them are two different things.
A poor woman can be happy and have a healthy life , so money doesn't really play a part in the happiness we get.
Giving money to charity such as Trócaire , Goal and so on is not saying money buys happiness but we all get that happy feeling because you know you have helped the poor. Seeing them smile not because of the money, but to know your money can change somebody’s day, month or even year.
Money don't make you happy, the things it will buy you makes you happy.
Always remember sometimes those who have less give more.
