Bro, are you talking of peace of mind or happiness? Because what am seeing here, you are trying to make both of them looks as if they are the same, which they are not, happiness and peace of mind are totally different things apart.
Secondly, concerning what you are actually saying, you need to understand that happiness is a choice, regardless of your financial status, you can choose to be happy or sad, and as for peace of mind, that is what wealth and poverty can't gives you.
So stop trying to make it looks as if poverty is better, because we all know that having money makes life easier, and it can enhance the environment that can gives you peace, so my brother,that man than took his own life did that due to his personal problem, which he felt like he just want to end it all, everyday people are commiting suicide nowadays not because of their financial status, but due to depression and some other stuff, so I believe this particular news came to your notice because he is wealthy, or you think it's only the rich that take their own life? So in essence is that, it's more likely for someone to contemplate suicide as a poor man, due to difficulties, than a wealthy person.
Yes, buddy, happiness is a choice...to some extent. Each of us had that neurotransmitter stew boiling in our brains. While some of us produced more serotonin, others less. You still have some control over how you behave, though, even if you are running on fumes. Indeed, life may be a misery occasionally. Bills must be paid; people let you down. I'm not suggesting that choosing happiness in a world on fire is simple. Still, I have seen guys in the toughest of circumstances discover that spark within of themselves. It's about finding purpose even in suffering, not about discounting the suffering
Today, money helps. Though it lessens a lot of stress, it is not the end-all, be-all. But I know plenty of miserable rich cats out there. Peace of mind is about your perspective on the world, not about your bank account value. That is where that absurdist garbage finds application, man. Life is a cosmic joke; none of it truly matters since everyone of us will die. But you must welcome that ridiculousness, buddy. Laugh in front of the emptiness. Discover your tick and pursue it even if everything seems meaningless
