    we should be happy and content always, with whatever we have and not to be greedy, because of the following reasons (Wise Old Sayings): Money can't Buy Happiness

    MONEY can buy bed, but not sleep;
    MONEY can buy books, but not wisdom;
    MONEY can buy food, but not appetite;
    MONEY can buy medicine, but not health;
    MONEY can buy finery, but not real beauty;
    MONEY can buy paintings, but not the artistry;
    MONEY can buy a house, but not a home;
    MONEY can buy luxuries, but not culture;
    MONEY can buy companions, but not friends;
    MONEY can buy marriage, but not love;
    MONEY can buy clothes, but not personality;
    MONEY can buy anything, but not heaven;
    MONEY can buy tombstone, but not death;
    MONEY can buy almost everything, but not the dignity and respect of being who we are!

    Happiness is a feeling that resides in the heart. Happiness is characterized by peace of mind, tranquility, a sense of well-being, and a relaxed disposition. Happiness comes as a result of proper behavior, both inward and outward, and is inspired by strong faith.

    Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "True enrichment does not come through possessing a lot of wealth, but true enrichment is the enrichment of the soul."

    Here one little short story from me.

    this story involved with a man who worked as a basket weaver. He was a simple man who enjoyed weaving his baskets.He whistled and sang and passed the day happily a he worked. At night he retired to his little hut and slept well. One day a wealthy man passed by and saw this poor wretched basket weaver. He was filled with compassion and gave him a thousand dollars. "take this", he said, "and go enjoy your self".

    The basket weaver took the money with much appreciation. He had never seen a thousand dollars in his life. He took it back to his ramshackle hut and was wondering where he could keep it. However, his hut was not very secure. He could not sleep all night because he was worrying about robbers, or even rats nibbling at his chest.

    The next day he took his thousand dollars to work, but he did not sing or whistle because he was still worrying so much about his money. Once more that night he did not sleep, and, in the morning, he returned the thousand dollars to the wealthy man, saying, "Give me back my happiness".

    My friend, money can't make long life joy for human.
