I had a dinner with my friend about two months ago.It was a nice dinner, but it became obvious that he is not happy.Which is strange because he is rich.He has the house, the cars, the trips, he can do anything he wants, yet he is not happy. We talked about this a good bit. After one month latter he was killed in car accident. When my other friend told me this news, i was shocked. Everything in our culture seems to say that money means happiness, yet it is not clearly working out in this my friend case. I am still searching this answer why money not helped him to reduce his tension. what you think about this?

When you have more money than you need, the cars you want, the house you always dreamed of, there is no longer any goals to reach therefore no more dreams. Life just seems to drift by without any meaning. When these rich people start to give some of their money or teaching their expertise to those who need help then they can again see a goal and begin to live again through their sharing. I have yet to meet a person who was happy that had everything they ever wanted and did not share with others.If you have everything you ever wanted there isn't anything to look forward to... Whats left to work toward or wish for when you have it all? Who can they trust and who will love them, not their money? Sorry to hear your friend has lost his life. Looks like he was looking for something that would bring excitement back into his life again. Was he driving too fast? Money can buy a lot of material things but it can't buy love or happiness.
