True meaning of happiness

Happiness doesn't always come in the from of money, but in the form of many other things. We get happy when we win, meet or make friends, spend quality time with our family and when we gain new experiences. Although money is important to us, it doesnt mean everything. Rich people have big houses with air-conditioning and television but the air-conditioner causes global warming and the television can damage our eyes. Poor people staying in a village can have fresh clean air in the morning and watch birds and listen to their singing and watching other animals also. Rich people have fence to protect them and a pool to swim in and relax but although how high the fence is, theres always a way to sneak in and the pool has limited space but the poeple in the village have friends to protect them and a river to swim in which doesn't have limits to swim in. Rich people buy food but the people in the village grows their food. That is why money isn't everything. The true meaning of happiness is when we are wealthy in our relationship, friendship, experiences and knowledge. Knowledge is the power in us.
