Money & Happiness

Money cannot buy happiness, but still has no dustbin for it. The saying seemed so futile to me when I was buying this chocolate and saw some street kids looking at me expectantly.
Somehow I couldn't take the chocolate home, instead got some more and gave it to them.

Money here bought happiness, both for them and me too.
The cycle came to my maid's house; a second hand though but still she was particularly happy about it; money bought happiness in her life.

My first salary, and the gifts that I gave; money bought happiness again.

The probably first pizza outing for that not so well off family and the happiness I saw on their faces; money had bought happiness yet again.

But, like always there is a but!

The piled up bank balance and the toadies around, all vying for the moolah and the tensions it created in the family, money stole the happiness.

The children of the house took to wrong deeds, drug addiction and stuff, money stole the happiness.

Working all the day making a living, I could not have dinner with my family; money I have alot but where is the happiness?

Money is necessity but it is not life. Ultimately, there has to be a balance between everything. When the non living chemicals, try to attain equilibrium then why not we, the last I checked, we had some brains too.

Remember, the piled up bank balance and the Porsche outside your bungalow will be of no use, till you will have your loved ones to share  them with.

Think about it !!
