Happiness and Money

These are some beautiful thoughts which captured me overwhelmingly some days ago .I was wondering why people are so unhappy although they get everything they need in day to day life.If we delve into the subject matter,we will find in 90% cases root cause is money-wealth . yes Money can be correlated to power also in some of cases. people crave for power and money.Though we have some but we want more always and that is natural to human tendency.But,my question is "whether to be unhappy because of the wants is natural to human traits?"

I don't need to ask anybody- I hope the conscientious answer to this question is always NO.We got our answer why we are mostly unhappy. Now the question is how we can be happy being so called human being of never ending thirst for money and crave for power.Answer is Happiness does not come from anywhere, neither from money nor from power and also neither it come with power or money or without it. We create a state of mind with reference to other person to demoralize ourselves many of the times to justify our lust. Comparison between compatriots with respect to power ,wealth spoils peace in mind.

To  be happy and  successful - both can be possible if we can create our benchmark with ourselves.
Improvements should always be compared with one's own-shelf instead of his so called competitors.My belief is let the market,media, whole world compare you with everybody in the rest of the world but we should be happy what we are now and what we have achieved till date with our own hands.We should improve day by day setting targets for ourselves .This would culminate the slow poison like depression, stress and tension among many young minds who face stiff competitive world for studies, jobs, marriage and God-knows-what-not.......
