Apparently not. It's a good read.

I personally think that money and happiness follow a bell-shaped curve. i.e. too little cash = unhappiness, too much = unhappiness, but if you have just a correct amount to live a comfortable life with a few excesses (but not too many), than you'll have a much greater chance of happiness.

Take this from someone who has seen the full spectrum himself...

You know many people think that money gives happiness because of the media who continuosly spread words like "Be rich, be happy". Its a bit like hypnotism to me init. Or an amazing propaganda session

Society is a sad state in itself. To win that money means the publicity of winning that much.. then everyone wants it, leads to thefts, then attempts which lead kidnapping..

Why can't the world be happy with someone who had just a little luck.. why can't everyone just be happy for others, why.. it is simple, we are self-centered idiots who care of nothing outside of our own profits.. and no one can deny it, because everyone is naturally self centered...

It is part of our survival of course, but it is still not useful with society.

No. If it did I'd love my job and hate coming home at the end of it.
