If you are one who believes ancient stories and philosophies, i can tell you that most greek philosophies and religions, such as stoicism, buddhism, hinduism, and even christianity, tells us that true happiness is found from being unnatached to things in this world, and that true happiness comes the inside and not from external things.Lol, you guys trip me out with this "truly happy" stuff.......as if honestly ANY human being honestly achieves "true happiness" throughout their lifetime.
It's the lazy man's way of making an excuse for why he hasn't achieved much in life. He will point to the fact that there are people with a lot of money but they have X, Y, and Z problem or they aren't "truly happy", thus, I guess that's some insane reason to not chase your dreams, passions, etc. in life?
I don't think anyone ever achieves true happiness in life because life always brings problems, no matter how much is in your bank account or how big your net worth is. I'm just the type of guy that I would rather face life's problems with MONEY in my pocket versus facing life's problems without it. I find that with MONEY, I'm able to deal with life's problems much more efficiently than without it.
This is why the "is that person trully happy" question plagues my mind so often.
Wisdom might have made me a pessimist.
