    Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Men who would be rich; this is the ridicule of the class, that they arrive with pains and sweat and fury nowhere; when all is done, it is for nothing. They are like one who has interrupted the conversation of a company to make his speech, and now has forgotten what he went to say (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature, 193).” To chase wealth is pointless. Money, and material objects are hard earned, but in the end they don’t provide happiness. One should not rely on materialism for happiness.…

In these books I have found the paths that lead me to answer those questions, as well as, to a lot of subjective questions, such as meaning of a good or bad.…
