A street car named desire.

We all know that desire is the cause of all suffering and those who relinquish it stumble upon happiness. It does not matter how much financial assets a person acquires, because he will never be satisfied with whatever wealth, power, and pleasure he seeks.

People’s happiness is based on perceptions, as assets or stocks/ wealth are all volatile; create excitement about the perceived reward or anxiety about loss. This is the illusion or abstract, as they are not concrete reality, but symbols that have no use by themselves; their value is dependent on the future, and whose value is fundamentally uncertain.
During war depression or recession, its value erodes, but others not dependent on assets can find happiness even in dire circumstances.
So wealth if attached to happiness, memory and emotions, are fleeting unaccountable things; and we don’t know how to deal with issues created by them.-Vinay-
