Luxury = Happiness ???



We dream of being a successful people in our lives. What we mean by being successfull is to have a bigger salary at first, so that we can have a luxury life together with our family, which in turn we 'assume' would bring us happiness.




We are about to go on the annual trip from our office, where we need to spend thousands of money per day. At the same time, the person who works in the same office as a cleaner earns the same amount we use to spend for a day at a hotel. But he has to work 6 out of 7 days, 25 days a month to earn the same amount. But we chose to have a high standard buffet, with luxury facilities and hope we are in heaven (for a moment) and assume we will be "happy". I have really felt more happiness, when I bought some food for a begger on the way to office. The smile and the thankfullness of that person is enough to give you a long lasting happiness.

In contrast, we try to "buy" happiness spending huge amounts of money, only to complain about what we didnt get in the end.

Help more, give to those who dont have, that will be with you forever...
