But happiness does not invariably come with wealth, nor unhappiness with poverty. If you fix it in your mind that the materially rich are happy and poor people are unhappy, then when you are poor, you will surely be unhappy. It’s a mistake to hold on to such a view. For those who think this way, no matter now much money they have, the time will come when it will be useless. At death, such people will fall into the depths of misery.
