Pursuit of Happiness


Many people think that money is the key to happiness. But the reality of life says otherwise, many who have money are looking for happiness, and may not find them despite all the luxury in which they live. A lot of people waste their lives in the collection of money and discover how naive they are but usually after it is too late, when they get older and know that life is short and that they had to live life for life, not for the money.
And money is the cause of destruction in the world, as the race men and countries on the money supply such as oil, is the main cause of the death of thousands of people all over the globe, so I totally agree with Michael Jackson when he talked about money in his album “History”, released in 1996, He said:

Money, Lie for it, Spy for it, Kill for it, Die for it, So you call it trust, But I say it's just, In the devil's game, Of greed and lust, They don't care, They'd do me for the money, They don't care, They use me for the money, So you go to church, Read the Holy

word, In the scheme of life, It's all absurd, They don't care, They'd kill for the money, Do or dare, The thrill for the money, You're saluting the flag, Your country trusts you, Now you're wearing a badge, You're called the "Just Few", And you're fighting the wars, A soldier must do, I'll never betray or deceive you my friend but..., If you show me the cash, Then I will take it, If you tell me to cry, Then I will fake it, If you give me a hand, Then I will shake it, You'll do anything for money..., Anything… Anything for money, Would lie for you, Would die for you, Even sell my soul to the devil, Insurance? Where do your loyalties lie? Is that your alibi? I don't think so, You don't care, You'd do her for the money, Say it's fair, You sue her for the money, Want your pot of gold, Need the Midas touch, Bet you sell your soul, Cause your God is such, You don't care, You kill for the money, Do or dare The thrill for the money, Are you infected with the same disease, Of lust, gluttony and greed?, Then watch the ones, With the biggest smiles, The idle jabbers...Cause they're the backstabbers, If you know it's a lie, Then you will swear it, If you give it with guilt, Then you will bear it, If it's taking a chance, Then you will dare it, You'll do anything for money... Anything… Anything for money, Would lie for you, Would die for you, Even sell my soul to the devil. You say you wouldn't do it, For all the money in the world, I don't think so if you show me the man, Then I will sell him, If you ask me to lie, Then I will tell him, If you're dealing with God, Then you will hell him, You'll do anything for money, Anything… Anything for money, Would lie for you, Would die for you, Even sell my soul to the devil.

We can not limit the causes of happiness, the place, companionship, money or self-realization and success, But I think the happiness stems from inside us, and we can control it to a large extent, when we get something we want it then we can feel happy not because we possessed all it want, but because we are in a moment forgot the rest of the things that we need. Life here give us a string of happiness, and we have follow it and try to make it take too long. Or cut that string and kill the joy in the moment of its birth through the negative ideas. Here, nature of the human personality play a great role to be happy or naughty, some did not know the conviction but loves to look at empty half of the glass. And some people find themselves under control by the negative thoughts and painful memories which are make them live enslaved to those thoughts and look into the future with ultra dark where no space to exist the light.

Finally, I believe that life without a struggle, work and effort have no taste, and self-fulfillment is more important than money.

  1. I'm guessing you're a Michael Jackson fan Nagi? :-) Some interesting ideas here and a nice title. Do you like the film with the same name?

  2. Hi Jude,
    The truth is I am a big fan of Michael Jackson. Also I am greatly impressed by Will Smith film “Pursuit of Happiness” it was moving and thought-provoking, the film based on a true story about a man named Christopher Gardner, who was able to become a millionaire after a hard life.
    Thank you
