Happiness Does Not Come from Money

eucharistWe can fall into error and think happy people are those that do not have problems; those that have more money than they need and they do not lack anything. Those that trade-in their cars every year, those that do not have problems in marriage and with their children. Those that have all the satisfactions of the world, those that never cry.

Many people think that to be happy is to live like those on soap operas. Those that think that to live happily it is necessary to have all the things that soap operas show.

In the capitalist system in which we live, we have a false freedom and a false happiness.God is cast from inside of us. There is an internal hemorrhage in which people are bleeding without perceiving and when they perceive it already the tragedy happened. The reason is God is the source of our happiness, not money.

Your brother,
