Money cannot buy happiness
But if you are wealthy,
Never tell a person in poverty this
For we, who are not wealthy,
Will only understand this truth
By experiencing wealth,
And discovering it for ourselves.
If you say poison will kill you
And as a result all who drink it die
Then you should know not to try it,
But if you say money doesn’t buy happiness
And yet many are seen thriving on it
Then it is obvious we will want to sample this,
As we know it is unlikely to kill us.
Life is about discovery through experience
And gratitude can be gained from this,
Not from being lectured by those who
Through whatever means have tried it,
While the rest of us have been denied it.
To have been sad and then happy teaches us
The gratitude of how much better being happy makes you,
The same applies to wealth but to few ever get to find out
How wealth and materialism can affect their lives.
