Despite all the wealth we accumulate - air conditioners, plasma TVs - true happiness has lagged our prosperity. Though happiness is related to economic achievement, the effect does not last. We will become envious of a new, richer set of people than before. We will keep on adding to the list of things we want to possess. But can we switch off from the materialistic world, not easy!
So the best thing would be do things that produce lasting changes in satisfaction levels - lend a helping hand and make difference in at least one person's life ?! My grandfather was a lot happier person and never showed an iota of ego or jealousy or greed and helped a lot of people in need.
