I was too fascinated by this question in the community Fuzzier thought Firmer View in orkut,
What is important? Money or Happiness
Please note this is my inaugural topic. This topic is very fuzzy to me. People say both needs to be there. But there is only 1 answer and your response should indicate one or the other but not both.
My firmer opinion is money because I rarely see happy people who do not have money. If I have money, I see many faces smiling at me else no one cares about me. I see I can buy happiness for them with money because all I see is requests for material things.
I do care for someone needs to be translated only by fulfilling their wishes which requires money.
It does not matter if you are unhappy by pursuing money because if you want to be happy, the world will be unhappy with you.

It was part of my question put ten years back, what is most important:
Money 2. Power 3. Intelligence/Knowledge 4. Beauty
Well my finding is put in the conclusion below, but first let us analyse this question:
Definitely both are needed for the existence of a comman human being. But in case one say ‘there is only 1 answer and your response should indicate one or the other but not both.’
My answer was Happiness Always!! Though I belive that Poverty is the greatest sin, the greatest curse, the greatest sorrow in once life.
To come to this conclusion, let me ask you two questions, definitely its an extreme case:
What would you prefer?
Lot of money with no family, friends or loved ones around (Remember the story of the Midas touch)
Good and supporting people around, with no money.
As rightly pointed out: ‘If I have money, I see many faces smiling at me else no one cares about me’. So definitely, only a poor man knows who his true friends are. As one of my cousin said, its easier to have many glass mates, but difficult to have good classmates.
Now let us analyse each of the above individually.
MONEY: It is very important, and essential thing in life. Money is ‘something’ but not ‘everything’ in life. It is like a bog, a mirage, once you are behind it, you will never be satisfied. Tell me how much money do you want??? Definitely cannot say!!!
Guess the theme of the Tamil movie ‘Kana Kanden’ , there are many today who like the smell of currency…….
HAPPINESS: Gambler, mystic, crook and saints all are looking for one and the same thing, though all have different ideas of what constitutes it. For example: Gambler wants money, and thus happiness…….Saint wants peace and thus happiness……
The ultimate thing for which all life searches is happiness, and it may be found only in the ourself. For some true its more money more happiness, for some solitude gives happiness, for some work, for some loved ones around means happiness, for others smoking, drinking or gambling.....it would all depend....What gives happiness for one, may be sorrow for another...Say of two siblings, one would be happy to have parents around, but other would have sorrow by having them...(Baghban- The movie that reminds me of may things)
Quotable Quote: The secret of happiness is simple, find our what you truely love to do, and then direct all of your energy towards doing it. Once you do this, abudance flows into your life and all your desires are filled with ease and grace.
Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness. (Frank Tyger). Happiness is about freedom and it begins in the ... your life, what you like doing, how you want your life to be, and go for it.
‘The things that we desire in life are expensive, but the truth is that the things that really satisfy us are absolutely free…. Love, joy, laughter and friends….’ Most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or brought by us……Just as most beautiful things in the life are never seen but felt by the heart.
Money and power that you have today, you may loose tomorrow, but love and plesentness that you cultivate within you, you are not going to loose it until you want to.
No wonder life is richer for those who aspire to reach higher and higher, progess is life, stagnation is death…Do your duty, do what will make you happy, and that will not hurt others, and the reward will follow. Kochuouseph Chittalappillys family would feel that they are not rich as Ambanis, Ambanis would compare themselves to TATAS, TATAS to some international ………That’s life……So also in sports or other fields of life…Sky is the limit, we need to reach for the stars, keeping the contant, changing the format….
Yes, with regard to the children, when we ourselves are not contented, why blame them for asking more? Happiness comes into family, not when there is more money, but when the children and spouse is understanding and cooperative. Together they can overcome poverty.
Its not like parents abroad earning money, and years later once they celebrate onam together you say its the first onam!!! When there are people in front of them who do not have either of their parent- Will they never have onam in their lifetime??
I do not have money to give you, but if you have reached a firmer view as your answer to this question, guess both of us would be happy!! Right.
Conclusion:
The most essential thing is ‘DEVOTION’ , as you know, if you are devoted to your work, you will get promotion, which will increase your salary, and you will have money, so is the case with business, or those who are into spiritual path. Devotion to your loved ones, will give you their support, now and always. You ignore people today, saying you can live without them. Right. But whom you reject today, it is difficult that they will accept you tomorrow, who knows you may need them tomorrow.
Then comes ‘Intelligence’, which embodies the ability to discriminate between things as they appear to be and as they really are. It doesnot just mean the academic marks or qualifications, but the wisdom and ability to bring harmony, think big, and the use of the same for constructive and not destructive activities.......
This I suppose will give you Happiness!!!
Many fail to realise but how many of us:
Catch up with events like blood donation annually.
Visit orphanage, old age home, and govt. hospital at least once a year. Share their sorrows. Take care of your own ones and others too. Don’t be like those, who once married forget their parents. Take up responsibilities.
At home give others (underprivileged, some one who is not blessed as you in yor family or your servents kids etc.) the opportunity to enjoy what you have. Service do help gain one both happiness and money.
Need money for SMOKING??? Keep burning Rs. 3/- why do you hurt two souls?? During corporate meetings you have to run to the toilet often, and you feel ockward, and want to hide it when others come in front of you. So many times you burn this money, when there is so many in need of the same??
The moment you become obsessed by desire to play a part in society, there is always the danger that those desire will keep you too busy to attend to quiet thought. Good to have such forums, or else people would think of it too late.
Well, whichever path you choose, all road leads to the common door, Death is a common factor in everybodys life, and what is important is how you live........Which is a matter of choice+ how big you grow depends on where you stand and Your 'perception'.
And the even in the secret manthra for success 'AHA AHA AHA' the ingredient is not money but Happiness!!! Hope you are aware that AHA stands for Attitude, Happiness and Action!!!

The Secret Message:
Every human being on the planet wants to be happy. Anything that anyone desires is because they think their desire will make them happy. Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent.

Let
go to live. Enjoy the moment. Be happy. Life happens for you, it does not
happen to you.. Empty your cup. Love yourself, only then you will attract the
right kind of person.
There
are two parameters you can live in. If you are in a joyful state and at peace,
you will get more. If you are grumpy, you will not attract the right kind of
person.
Choices
make your destiny.

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret
From The Secret Daily Teachings
If you have "needing money" in your vibration, then you will keep attracting needing money. You have to find a way of being happy NOW, feeling good NOW, and being in joy NOW, without the money, because those great feelings are how you will feel with the money.
Money doesn't bring happiness - but happiness brings money.
May the joy be with you,
Rhonda Byrne
The Secret and The Power... bringing joy to billions
A man told God "I WANT HAPPINESS"...GOD said...1 st remove 'I" that's... Ego Then remove “WANT”.That’s Desire...Now sees U r left only with "HAPPINESS"....
Nothing more important than Health...
Happiness is subjective.
