Can Money bring Happiness? 'Knowledge and Wisdom', part 1

I've been wondering quite a lot about Money, Wealth and Happiness: In-fact, a few years back, when i was younger i couldn't think of nothing else than being rich or extremely wealthy. But times are changing, and with it comes the wisdom; yet sadly, not for all of us...

Regarding this you'll need to understand that Knowledge and Wisdom are in many ways two separate things!

...What's the Difference?
There are many differences between knowledge and wisdom: One and the most important between the two of them is that knowledge is easy to gain, while wisdom is not - yet to gain wisdom you'll need knowledge, but not which are thought rather than which are learned throughout experiences with emotions...
I know this is hard to get, but understand this: "Happiness by Money or Wealth is an Illusion, it's temporary without wisdom." And only with knowledge, happiness is just as satisfaction! Meaning that wise people, whether they are rich or poor are most of the times happier than those who are smart.

So what i really want you to realize is that "Money can bring happiness!", but it also can corrupt - and sure there's another side to Money and Wealth, regarding the quote i gave you. Meaning that Wealth itself isn't all about Money, it's not being rich rather being independent - it's being compassionate, loving and caring; and most importantly, it's being Wise over Knowledge...
