The increasing pressures of today’s

the often lonely lives of many wealthy celebrities as well as the advice of older people who speak from experience.

Firstly

, the lives of wealthy celebrities often illustrate that

cannot buy

happiness

.

For example

, many tremendously wealthy pop icons,

such

as Robbie Williams and Kirsten Dunst, suffer from debilitating depression often linked to extraordinary lifestyles that make it difficult to maintain friendships.

to be at the foundation of

happiness

in life.

Secondly

, the advice from many older people regularly reiterates

this

For example

, all four of my grandparents claim their relationships with family and friends are the experience that bought them the greatest

in their lives. As

is a common viewpoint among the aged of all countries and cultures, and because the aged simply have more experience with life,

such

an opinion needs to be given precedence when discussing

or professional pursuits. As seen above, professional success and wealth cannot buy true

happiness

and

is a realization that all too often comes
