Ma Essay 'Money Ain't Happiness'

Money is something that all humans fight for, yet do humans realize what would happen if they had all the money in the world? Having all the money in the world could solve a lot of problems, but could also create them.Money won't always buy, and it too has its limits.
What accomplishes you in life isn't money, but happiness. The target of money is to get you luxurious embellishments, pure silk made dresses and abundant food which could be considered happiness - but a happiness that won't last forever.
Everytime you buy something new, you're  exuberant and excited but it only lasts a weekor so. Though, when you meet someone new and create a new friend the excitement is always there, and the fresh gain of a new person is in your life. You've done so without having to take your credit card out.
This friend is someone you're willing to trust, willing to give to and a companionship. Money is neither of those three. It cannot buy trust, and it cannot buy real friends. Too much money, in fact, can cause the opposite. It can cause fear of trust, fear of not knowing who wants you for who you are and who wants you for your money.
It's not everything in life, and definetly not life's first priority. Each life has its own fullfilment and its own void to fill in. Everyone has a path to supply the void whether its by beliefs, hobbies or love.
While money's allegedly tempts the rest of the world with towering power, I am personally more tempted by happiness's emerging completeness.
