Good post. ^,^

I believe pain is a good teacher and tells us of the things that we really should focus on.

It's funny how seldom people question the fact that our entire civilization seems to hinge on the pursuit of material wealth. Oh well. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

An interesting quote from the article:

"Downturns spark depression, yet booms do not create happiness" So true, so true.

The reason for that's pretty simple: up to a point, money and/or material wealth DOES buy happiness, or at the barest minimum allows for the removal of many things that cause unhappiness. Beyond that point, other things become more important.
