Some people say that the most important thing about being rich is that it gives the opportunity to help other people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #opportunity
Generally, those who are happiest are those who give the most to others, according to ancient wisdom and new research. It makes conventional sense that helping other people in need is a path to everlasting happiness. As the Chinese saying goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” Scientific experiments
also
 show that altruism, or selfless concern for the well-being of others, is hard-wired in the brain, and it is pleasurable. Because of all
this
 information, helping others may be just the secret to living a life
that is
 both happy and meaningful. It is true that when people get rich, they will consider helping others to gain a sense of achievement,
For example
, helping underprivileged people so that the rich can get a sense of accomplishment and feel that they have helped more people through their own efforts. Just like many celebrities who have done charity, they have to let the media deliberately report their good deeds. Just like before, some stars went to Africa to raise money, bringing more journalists than helping staff. It is hard to think that
this
 kind of "kindness" is not really "true" from their heart“. Yet, it does not automatically mean that those people become rich to help others, because there is no relationship between," becoming rich" and "helping others" And it's hard to define "rich" in the title. How much rich is rich and what kind of bicycle do you want. After people have been rich, they still have a lot of things to do,
such
 as changing a house, changing the quality of children's education, and expanding their careers. These can be the most important things for them.
