Daniel Nkado: The Thing almost Money too Happiness

by Daniel Nkado



The human relationship betwixt coin in addition to happiness tin sack endure a really complicated one, if non controversial.


Because nosotros alive inwards a fiscal world, it is really tardily to run into people larn lost inwards the race.

To many, coin [riches, wealth] is the ultimate goal of a life's struggle.

We receive got been pre-programmed to intend that ane time at that spot is money, at that spot would inevitably endure happiness.

I wrote inwards ane of my books how coin tin sack easily purchase comfort but non necessarily happiness.

But for a lot of people who powerfulness endure experiencing a novel degree of comfort for the kickoff fourth dimension inwards their lives, this could easily hateful happiness to them.


That doesn't completely accept away the divergence though.

And I know at that spot is also a character of happiness that gets expired over time--sort of.

A poor human being becoming rich volition ordinarily, inwards most cases, experience happier. But it would alone endure a thing of fourth dimension -- could endure 5, 10 or twenty years -- earlier this newfound joy melts away, in addition to the heed is focused on other things.

Because the human nature is ever wanting something.

Always.

Then at that spot is also the biological part.

Yes, I personally intend at that spot is to a greater extent than to happiness that has to exercise amongst our private biologies than anything nosotros could peradventure purchase or own.

Some people are to a greater extent than biologically built to endure happy than others.

I've seen people who receive got nothing, don't receive got whatsoever of those features monastic enjoin calls beautiful in addition to drool over, but they soundless smiling in addition to laugh.

Some fifty-fifty continue to exercise fun amongst their condition.

But, quite contrastingly, at that spot are soundless those who receive got all the coin inwards the basis in addition to all the proficient looks in addition to yet can't halt feeling miserable.

That is ane of the most amazing things I receive got ever experienced inwards my life.

I ane time had the chance to remain days inwards ane of the classy hotels inwards upmarket Ikoyi, Lagos, amongst gratis in addition to exquisite breakfast served me each morning.

I would remain at the balcony in addition to bask my repast spell watching the gentle waves of the sea.

I was happy, or to a greater extent than correctly put, I felt happy, but non whatsoever happier than I were the times I woke upward inwards the morn inwards my hamlet to a mutual depression temperature pelting in addition to hundreds of tiny, winged termites flight virtually the air, the goats bleating equally loudly equally they tin sack equally they ran for embrace in addition to my grandmother [God bless her soul] would run through the pelting to larn all the animals into their work solid in addition to lock the dwarf door.

Or the cool nights nosotros came out amongst our lanterns to alternative snails on the pile of greening bricks past times the chemical compound wall.

The afternoons afterward schoolhouse nosotros clustered around the udala tree waiting for simply some other fruit to fall.

The days nosotros would sneak off to the flow at Nibo to swim in addition to expect for fish.

The Christmas periods nosotros packed our bags to snuff it to Mum's hamlet in addition to pass fourth dimension amongst my maternal grandparents [God bless their soul].

The times nosotros used pike grass to depict termites from their holes inwards the dingy basis of the backyard.

The fourth dimension I had my kickoff kiss at the dorsum of the JSS two Block at Union.

The times nosotros would all get together at Zoo Lab in addition to exercise all the crazy materials scientific discipline students do.

The times I screamed Mama C-C-C in addition to G-G-G amongst Aijey in addition to Dinma at their lodge.

The kickoff fourth dimension Aunty Maths prepared native soup at the "corper's lodge" during NYSC.

And a whole lot of other times besides that didn't involve in addition to then much coin or sophistication.

They were simple, cheap things, but all the same really happy times for me.

And these days I alone pray I volition one-day come upward to endure equally happy equally I were those days again.

For now, too, I've come upward to believe that happiness powerfulness endure inversely related to age.

That the older you lot get, the to a greater extent than faraway it becomes!
