Wealth and happiness 【By Kaiser3344】
　　There is no same opinion among people as to the view of wealth. Some people may think that wealth is the most important and powerful thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that cannot be bought with wealth.

　As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There’s an old proverb, “Money can cure hunger, but it can’t cure happiness” which simply means wealth can buy us some material things but cannot make us happy and free from sadness or worries. In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health and so on are the most valuable things in the world and can never ever be bought with money. Those who just try their best to make money can’t realize the true meaning of life and will be the slaves for money. They can’t enjoy happiness, for they have lost everything, time, relatives, love except money. Then, what can money do? No one will share the happy moment with them.

　　Wealth has always been what some people are longing for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labour. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth, and hence their happiness.

　　There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness especially in the modern society, where various kinds of modern conveniences, new fashions and entertainments make their appearances with each passing day to make life more comfortable and colourful. Only money can turn admiration into reality.

　　But there are exceptions when wealth does not go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may encourage those weak-willed persons to be addicted to some harmful habits, such as drug-taking or gambling, and bring about their own ruin. Also, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is passionately devoted to seeking wealth. Therefore, one can never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.

　So, I think, money is not at all powerful while happiness is more important. If we always have happiness, we’ll never give up the belief to life.
