Money can buy happiness

Well over the period, I was in debate (disagree) with the argument whether money can buy happiness, but I have to agree now. Money can buy happiness only if you spend on others. People works day and night to make money and still they are unhappy in their personal life, still they think missing something. They spend and buy lot of stuff to make them happy, but it does not somehow feel really happy so they end up spending more.

Recent research found century old belief, ( "It is more blessed to give than to receive." ) that it can buy happiness, if you spend on others or if you give away money to charity.

There is no wonder why more and more rich people give away money to charity, they realized that this is the only way to be happy, not to mention Warren Buffet. "Indeed, although real incomes have surged dramatically in recent decades, happiness levels have remained largely flat within developed countries across time," they wrote. That mean, if you go from low income to medium you certainly feel happy, but after certain stage it does not.

In our Indian culture, there is saying that its better to have "prasaana" rather than "khush". "Khush" is temporary while "prasaana" is eternal. There was one classic example one of our saint told during Diwali. If you use the firework for yourself, it gives you happiness, but its temporary However if you give fireworks to others who need, it feel you eternal happiness which is called "prasaana".
