Money Doesn'T Buy Happiness

Big house, three cars and shopping evryday.  Materialism, socalisim and consumerism. Ism, 
ism ,ism.  Being in debt.

In the RED. Stressed out.  Diamond rings, bling, bling , bling.
Bored and no hope. Greed and deceit.

Money dosen't by happiness.

...More often than not the emotion creates the lack of money, for example, my dad losing all his money on Crocs when the stock plummeted 2 years ago (as in not from the current economy). The only reason he lost it is because his ego was to big for him to admit it's a flop, that would mean admitting he made a mistake. Sorry, I'm projecting my own issues here I think. Either way I like poetry that makes me react with intensity:)

Good point you make here, except I would really stress the flip side of it as well. If money doesn't buy happiness than it can't sell sadness either, meaning if one is in debt and is very depressed it can't be the lack of money that's causing it. The symbols behind the money are more likely culprits but in and of itself a piece of paper does not create a human emotion...
