My second hub: There are Two Kinds of Happiness

The first kind of happiness is what we commonly know about and that is, only with "money" that we can be possibly happy or be able to get a certain degree of happiness. The second one is the very exact opposite, which is the "true happiness" and you will be able to recognize them without money and that will be only possible if you will be able to "erase" the money mentality in "you".

The money mentality in our society made us a materialistic person. With that everything has a certain value, even the "sacred" human life. I said sacred because a human life is supposed to be without any monetary value but our materialistic society violated it. It absolutely disregarded the respect we are supposed to render to our "Creator" though we duly recognized his Existence but just the same we "ignored him".

With money a classification occured between people of which we commonly knew as the rich and the poor or those who are living a luxurious and comfortable life and the majority of which is suffering from poverty and various difficulties in life. These are all because of money.

With money or monetary systems everything have definite values, it is a kind of measurement as to how much a person owns, such as in terms of cash we have, properties he owned, like a house and lot or commericial building, down to his personal belongings, all of it have a certain price or value, so on and so fort, and for the poor person, he owned almost nothing. How much more if his income is not sufficient enough to feed himself or his family. But either the rich or the poor are not really truly happy in this life. For my readers I have to remind you about my subject, that this is not about religion or something to do with spirituality instead this is "M Philosophy". Something I want my readers to realize and recognize. Though you have the options if these ideas are acceptable to you or not. My arguments now is, money is the cause of the miseries of mankind ever since. I may also say that the rich, who is never satisfied and the poor are both angry and hungry with their struggle to survive in this life. The rich people who are never satisfied and the poor who are also after of money, and therefore both of them are selfish and greedy. And these situations will never be good because selfishness and greediness makes you "think of what is good for yourself only and you will never care if other people will have a miserable life.

Selfishness and greediness "is not the true nature of man". Man invented money and did not solved our problems because it only systemized his selfishness and greediness. It is not the true nature of man, because no matter how rich he is, he will never be truly happy in life. Then what is the true nature of man? My answer is, "selflessness" the willingness to die for others. Jesus Christ already gave us an example, but just the same we absolutely ignored him. Because we recognized and beleived in him yet we just cannot do as what he wants us to do.

Money is representing man's selfishness and greediness, and you want to be truly happy in life, then be "selfless". This is something each and everyone of us must learn realize and recognized and this can only be possible if you do it "personally". Not as a group but individually, a personal resolution and it is in discovering the "true you" . "Discovering about the true you" is not a part of this topic yet. Some of the insights are, you must be "absolutely sincere and honest to yourself" first. You might not be the same to others but never deceive yourself. And in discovering many things about yourself is, "like a window opened and you will be able to see a new world, truly appreciating the beauty of nature and everything God has created."

The kinds of happiness are just like the false and the true one. Right now, we are indulging ourselves in the "false one" and creating our own miseries and self-destruction so that, we cannot blame God for all of these, instead the best thing to realize at this point is to "blame yourself."
