Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness

We like to think that movie stars should somehow be exempt to feelings of depression. After all, they have fame and they have money - usually lots of it. But, as the old adage goes - money doesn’t buy you happiness. In fact, it seems that money buys you false happiness in the form of drugs and alcohol. Too many celebrities today want to dull their feelings of depression or loneliness with artificial methods and this just gets lands them in serious trouble.

Recently, Owen Wilson, was rushed to the hospital in an attempted suicide attempt. No one really knows the reason for the attempt, but obviously he wasn’t the happy-go-lucky guy we associated with his movie roles. It also seems he was having problems with drugs. He may now need to spend time in various drug rehabs and try and get his life back together.

As for me, maybe I don’t have fame or money or power, but I would rather be happy!
