I always wonder what people need to be happy? What do they search? At what point or accomplishment people consider themselves happy? Does happiness last just a moment or once accomplished could it last a lifetime?, Is happiness somehow related to money?

I think there are as many needs as people in the word, people need different things to be happy…but then again, does money bring happiness or are material things just voids of the soul?

Is our greed promising us happiness?, is it taking us apart as human beings?

Some people think they need a million dollar house, others a sailing boat, others some plane tickets and a back pack and maybe others just a kite.

Can people be happy in a huge house when what they really are looking for a is a warm home and solid family?

Most of the time we are probably confusing things and giving to much importance to things that are not that important and less importance to real things, to human relation or to take a time and slow down and  just breath.

At some point the economic power and the search for happiness they cross paths (that is where the confusion begins), I think at the end they go a parallel path.

I think what people really search is not the material or luxury per se because if you ask most of the people what would they do the last days of their life’s the answer would be other than what money could buy.

We don’t know when is our last day, we just have this moment this instant and can make it last while it lasts, as good as it gets, no regrets with that.

Doing little things for others makes life a little be lighter, maybe we wont relieve the pain or change the world, but we will produce a butterfly effect in some people life’s and maybe at the right moment make a difference.

We are never too poor to give a smile and never too wealthy to live without it.

Now if I have to ask myself all these questions I would say that to be honest unfortunately I’m still attached to material things, and I think that I could not make it without a microwave, an Internet connection or my digital camera… nevertheless I’m here, writing this thoughts.
