The cartoons vividly depict the relationship between wealth and happiness.
In the first picture, a graduate is standing on the top of a hill named "high salary".
In the second drawing, a magnate is imprisoned by a diamond crown.
The caption reads "Wealth is not equal to happiness".
There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness,
especially in the modern society.
Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances,
latest fashions and recreations make their appearances with each passing day.
On the contrary, wealth can also lead to disasters if we have an inappropriate approach to it.
Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits,
such as drug-taking and gambling, and result in their ruin.
From my point of view, one should never rely only on wealth to achieve happiness.
For one thing, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he only intends to seek wealth and indulges himself in leading a luxurious life.
For another, there are some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them for help.
Hence, on no account can we equate happiness with wealth.
