Money Doesn't Buy Happiness.

"Money doesn't buy happiness" How often do we hear this quote? Some people think that when someone is wealthy that means they can't be sad, depressed or lonely. In fact money and feelings have nothing to do with each other.

Yes, indeed. Money can buy TEMPORARY happiness. When you buy something you can be very happy and excited about it but that "happiness" wont last forever.
For example:
When you buy a Ferrari or even a new house, you will feel delightful but your feelings will only last for a few days and then your feelings will change to however you felt before you bought the car and you won't be excited and thrilled anymore.

Many people (not necessary wealthy but are doing well financially) have numerous problems. When you have everything you need, some people will think that you have no right to be sad. Your family won't help make you feel better, instead they will say, "You have everything you need and you're sad? look at the poor people and think again."
You might think that well financed parents will probably send their children to therapy but the problem is that the parents will never know how depressed, sad or unstable their children might be; they're too busy in their work to pay attention.
I know someone who has been depressed for 3 years and her parents never knew until she reached to a point where she didn't talk to them anymore and she's from a well financed family.

Every family has its own problems whether its financially, educationally or mentally. My point is that not everyone wealthy is happy and not everyone poor is sad. Depression has no mercy, it will attack anyone; rich or poor. When someone is mentally unstable or shows signs of depression, make sure to talk to them because you might be their last piece of hope.

Be kind to everyone, you never know what someone might be going through.
