Happiness is a mental state of well being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness




Money makes you happy --

Wrong - If this were true than anyone with enough money will be happy, but how much is enough. Even the riches of people aren't satisfied.

Wrong - Anyone that is satisfied with his or her amount of "wealth" will automatically be happy.

Wrong - Happiness is dependent on monetary wealth, therefore the poor aren't happy.

Wrong -- If the poor are "happy" then they have some wealth, but what is it? Are they satisfied? Are they content? Do they have peace of mind?

Less likely to amass due to social construct

Shalom, I feel bad how I often think ungratefuly and claim not to be happy.

@TheStudentOfAllah Peace.

[Surah72]

Peace,

For me, it is being grateful for what I have, instead of being ungrateful because of what I don't have.

I am considered 'poor', yet by the standards of many around the world, I am a rich man. I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and clothes to protect me. I have health and wisdom.

I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need. I am grateful. :)

Peace and blessings.

@Surah72 I can dig it!

Exactly my sentiments. Peace and Blessings!
