its disadvantage 7. Wealth and Happiness Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor. Their efforts contribute to the wealth of the society and at the same time to accumulation of their wealth, and hence their happiness There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness especially in the modern society, where various kinds of modern conveniences, new fashions and entertainment make their appearances with each passing day to make life more comf ortable and colorful. Only money can turn admiration into reality But there are exceptions when wealth does not go hand with happiness. Wealth may encourage those weak-willed persons to be addicted to some harmful habits, such as drug taking or gambling, and bring about their own ruin. Also, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is passionately devote to seeking wealth. Therefore, one can never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness 8. Housing Problem Housing problem comes hand in hand with population growth. Some big cities in China are now encumbered with a rising population. Naturally, one of the most serious problems incurred is that of housing. Despite the mushrooming high building, the provision of living space still falls far short of demands. Since the world is advancing, people are no longer reconciled to living in shabby shelters. They look forward to decent dwelling places that can protect human dignity Various solutions have been suggested. But there seems to be a drawback to each of the solutions. The traditional free allocation of dwellings to the needy brings great economic burden to the government, while paid allocation brings equal burden to the average people. The moving of urban population to the suburbs may ease housing problem in inner city but brings about traffic problems. The best solution seems to be a combination of all suggested solutions. We still have a long way to goits disadvantage. 7. Wealth and Happiness Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor.
