Money

They say money doesn't buy happiness! But then what does. Nothing? Well to me nothing can buy happiness but money can sure help you succeed in happiness. It really bothers me when people revolve around money. Technically to live, you're life must revolve around money. Money buys food, clothes, pays rent. Basically the needs to live. What happens when you have no money. No food, no clothes, no home. Now you can say that you wouldn't be happy with out all that stuff, but then again who knows. If you were homeless and hungry you probably wouldn't be reading this. Its almost a catch 22. I will be happy with a Ferrari 430 but there is no way I will be able to get that with out money. I think the whole saying means that money cannot make you happy but it can help you be happy. If that makes any sense. I in no way have a life that revolves around money. I think constantly about what I need to pay for to get by but don't let my life be consumed in money. Money only pays for material happiness. Not for emotional or physical happiness. I cannot pay to see the sunrise, or pay for the love that is in my heart, or pay for the rain to fall or pay for the birth of a child. I can pay for a car or a house or bigger boobs, so to speak. I'm not really sure where I am going with all of this but I think I have a point coming up soon. I'm just tired of hearing people say that they can't wait till they can get out and make money so that they can be "happy." I guess I just wish they saw the world as I see it. I mean don't get me wrong, I cant wait to get out of school and make money and afford things. But I am very greatful for every day. For every day that I have the opportunity for someone to teach me new things. For every emotion I feel, good or bad. I'm so greatful that I have wonderful friends and a great boyfriend and a stable home. All of those things money can't buy. When someone tells you that they can't wait for money, its almost a slap in the face. That you aren't worth it to them, for them to be happy they need a huge house with 20 cars and thugged out. How many people do you know that have all that and can truly look at their life and say they are happy. Not many. Just once I want all the self centered people to look around and notice the beauty and the things that money could never afford. I guess that I just have seen all the love that has been shared and the happiness that floats in the wind, that I want people to see the life god intended for us to see. I just know there is more to life than money, and hope one day everyone can see the world and life as it was intended!
(I really hope that made sense.. maybe I just rambled but I heard someone say that money does buy happiness and I was flabbergasted)
