More money more happiness. Is it right?

By: Mochamad Ismail
In any era, everybody wishfully has more money, even much more, and more. Try to get it by any efforts. Sometimes we forget that we should care healthy, family, children, social neighbor, and the most important that is we forgot about the essence of the effort itself.

Is money the goal?

If we've already had much money. We have fulfilled our need, family need, children need, and everything we need. Everything we wish we can make it true.

Do you think a happiness will be together forever...?

What do we feel if we don't have money? Do you think we can survive from the reality in life that children need money to go to school, family need money for food, for recreation and any other need for a house keeping. Aren't we happy with this? off course not! Do we feel sad, angry of just keep calm? Experience is the answer.

Sometimes we don't realize. We don't care! As long as it can earn more money just do it. Well, I know there are many people think that money can make a happiness. By having much money, we're not worried in life.

I'm precisely worried with money I have. If my natural desirability is very strong and I can't control it. My life will be broken up. The contrary, if I can control my natural desirability, and use my money for something good, such as helping people, helping social foundation or children education. The happiness will be mine.

So, happiness is not from Money, but for what money you use. For good or bad things. And what you feel inside is the answer, isn't it?

But,... what about the thief or robber. What they do is something like a profession. They think it's a job. Are they happy?

Happiness is not a goal

By: Mochamad Ismail
Love can be a power which strongest than everything in the world. Love to family, to friend, to people, to country, to nation, to nature, etc. And above all love to God is a greatest power of human being in life. Love to god is a mother of loves.
Love to family I think is a second layer after loving to god. And it is what I’m talking about.

Love to family can be a big engine to motivate us to work hard, to do everything we can to achieve success. And a success of course is having much money. By money we can fulfill family’s need , wife’s need, children’s need. And the main thing is a happiness. Is it everybody’s goal?
For me happiness is not coming money from how much we have. Money is just a tool, just a vehicle to achieve a goal. Happiness is not the goal. So, what the goals?
Have you ever thought what we do when we have no money? What about our wife, our children? Do you think they can not be happy because of no money? Maybe my answer is how could they are happy with no money. Is it possible in living today we can be happy with no money?

The answer is possible! Very possible!
Happiness is not a goal in life. Happiness is only the effect of our heart, the effect of our mind. Sometimes when somebody wants a happiness what he get is not a happiness but the opposite. I don’t want a happiness as my wish. Is it peculiar?
No, I think it’s not peculiar. It’s precisely a plausibility.
Our duty in life is just doing good things. We work for earning a living to fulfill our duty as a family leader. Give something good or money to poor people, to a fatherless foundation, to mosque, to neighborhood. Doing something like a volunteer work in our neighborhood area.

What we get by doing this? The absolutely answer is Happiness. Besides happiness also a satisfaction that we already do something valuable in life. It’s happy things, right?
Do you agree with this?...
