funnybone: How does money justify overall greater happiness? I understand how it would create more options for more enjoyable vacations, but does it guarantee more enjoyable vacations? And is it the vacation itself that causes happiness or is it our attitude that creates happiness?
Does it really make suffering easier? If a person is in so much pain that each and every position only offers more pain, does it matter how much the chair or mattress cost?
Money makes one problem easier, and that is the worry of not having money. It does not help solve any other problem in the world, especially not emotional difficulties.
