Big bucks == happiness?

Recently I read an article in detik.com, an interesting one, it's title is "Gaji Besar Bikin Anda Bahagia?".
I'm totally agree with the article, I pity the man whose happiness depends on his income and his boasting of it.
Especially in the current trend in the big city, where the rich one is treated as king. Which is simply a foolery. Even the little children begin to get materialistic, boasting on what they have (simply on what their fathers have). Truly what is seen is a vanity, a chasing after the wind, here is a saying:
"Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. "

So... As for me, this is what I will do, it is better for me to seek the unseen yet eternal, than to seek what is seen and not eternal. This is the source of true happiness (man... sounds like a preacher speaking :p)


peace.....
