HAPPINESS AS EXTERNAL WELL-BEING

According to another view, happiness consists in external wealth, i.e. wealth. But does wealth bring happiness? For some, it may be a variant of a "Golden cage". And besides, it remains an open question, whether in any way the produced wealth can be the key to happiness?
Of course, the wealth should not be discarded, as in need more difficult to feel happy. But wealth does not bring happiness to those who have a soul there is nothing but greed, who have no other joy, how to outdo the other. Add to this the fact that it is not in itself wealth makes a person happy, but "wealth acquired righteously and does not burden". (Guseinov A. A., Apresyan R. G. Ethic. - M., 1998. - S. 299), which may be related to the happiness of fortuitous circumstances.
Since wealth is closely adjacent the power that many find happiness. But the worship acquired freedom. So, those in power and dependent on him, not severable and not free from each other, since otherwise (and in this understanding of happiness) defeats the purpose of such a state of happiness. Therefore, Mr cannot be "happy" without the worship of others. And prefer to ease my soul from the burden of responsibility in freedom (and consequently, and freedom of the spirit), dicloniuses before someone will lose "his" happiness, after parting with an object of worship. Besides, with the point of view of the Christian religion, and European philosophical ethics, a lack of freedom, dependence and rigidities of misery. No wonder, Jesus clearly contrasted the "happiness as the highest good" the might of power, and carelessness, voluntarily adopted subjection. (Matt., 4:1 - 11).
