Being Rich Or Being Happy
We all heard or read that its better to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. But what we don't know that those people who have a Merc are technically not allowed to cry based on some unwritten and unproven rules that if you are rich than you are happy. No one will believe you that if you are rich you can be unhappy.
" I will be happy when I will get what I want"
The biggest lie we tell to our self. As Buddha said man craves for many things. But when we get what we want we start looking for the Next Big Thing and then again the Next Bigger Thing. But trust me we can never get the biggest thing which can satisfy us. You know what keeps us running and what keeps our interest alive? When things are hard to get, when we cant get what we want, when we look at things we dont have. But once we get what we want, Bamm!! the interest is over.
I remember being super excited about my first android phone, when i got it i was like the happiest person in the world, definitely not for a long time. Just few weeks i guess. Then it was like any other day. My phone kept lying at places i don't know. That time what attracted me was the other costlier phone my friend owned. It happens everywhere. Get a 2BHK flat, after a year you crave for 3BHK, the thirst never get quenched. But sometimes that's a good thing, because that keeps us going, But if you let that thing get over your mind, it will never let you be happy.
"Sometimes its good to be dissatisfied but Not unsatisfied"
There is no standard to measure happiness. The happiness of a middle class family after Buying a motorcycle will be same as that of higher class buying an Audi.
The sympathy you get and the care you received may get lost because people think Rich people are strong, I wonder they even treat them as Human or not. You find yourself ignoring people when they ask for money because you know it will result you in loosing both. People then think you got an ego problem , you are changed and what not. Before they start following you, they start judging you. You are not allowed to make mistakes, because you will be showcased in the next days news with your name as Title saying how these Riches are spoiling the society. If you get famous you start living for others with hardly anytime for you. You live for news and for the camera, I mean you have to.
They dont understand that being rich doesn't mean attending solace.
Also" With great power comes great responsibility"
Everyone wish to be like you. They think that will make them happy , but no. That's not the truth. "Money just buy the things that YOU THINK WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY"
You cant distinguish if people are there for your money or for you. You cant tell if your partner is loving you or the money.
But still you need to make a lot of money before talking all these. Coz it do make your life a bit easier and even happier depending on the way you pursue your thoughts.
" Don't Cry for money, it never cries for you"
Some people can only handle small problems like ' where to park my car?' while some enjoy big challenges like ' Where to land my private jet'
Best Luck ;)
