Read the following excerpt from an essay. Many ask, "What brings happiness?" There are various possible answers to that
question, which makes it difficult to answer, but I have a few ideas about what
doesn't bring happiness. What doesn't make people happier is earning more
money so as to acquire more personal possessions. Perhaps for those who reside
in developing nations, being wealthy might improve the quality of life, but for
people in industrialized countries, does being richer really create more
happiness? Once you get to a certain level of comfort, having more possessions
isn't the cure for unhappiness.
