   ofland and estates, large bank deposits, etc??!    
   > Many indeed are those people who own millions or even billions but are   
   sufferingfrom an almost permanent lack of peace of mind as a result of the   
   fear they haveover their wealth the fear of, say, political turmoil's, market   
   movements, wars,plunders,    
   theft, etc. And not only does such fear lead to sleepless nights forthese   
   people but even tensions, mental anguish, heart attacks and deaths. Veryoften   
   one comes across reports in the media such as the following:    
   >    
   > * Fortunes lost and lives follow in financial market crash …..!    
   > * A Tokyotrader shot himself after apparently losing money in the stock   
   market..!    
   > *Australia's richest man was rushed to hospital in serious condition,   
   Sunday,after suffering a heart attack....!    
   > Understanding and acceptingthat happiness has nothing to do with amassment   
   of wealth is perhaps the mostliberating realization we can ever come to.    
   >    
   > *****Ample materialis readily available from the lives of many people to   
   prove our dictum "wealthis not equal to happiness".*****

   > DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON (Christina Onassis)?!    
   > Here lies another eventful story which proved beyond doubt that   
   wealth,whatever the amount one holds, cannot by itself be the basis for the   
   achievementof real happiness! Here is the story which for years dominated the   
   minds ofwriters, reporters and    
   newsmen, as well as the pages of newspapers, books andmagazines! This is the   
   story of Christina Onassis daughter of the famous Greektycoon, Aristotle   
   Onassis who owned fleets of ships and aeroplanes, lakes andislands, real   
   estates, huge bank deposits,    
   etc. Following the death of herfather, Christina was the only one left behind   
   as the legal heiress to the vastresources of her father besides her late   
   father's second wife JacquelineKennedy. The enormous liquid inheritances were   
   to the tune of billions    
   ofdollars besides the immovable properties, the fleet of ships and   
   aeroplanes,lakes and islands, real estates, large bank deposits, etc 'What an   
   inheritancethat was! Certainly, to the judgment, reasoning, feelings and   
   standards of mostpeople, someone    
   inheriting such a huge fortune should be the happiest person onearth but was   
   this true for Christina? The answer to this question can only bearrived at   
   after going through the following pages which briefly explain theknown course   
   of her life.    
   >    
   > Christina got married to anAmerican during her father's lifetime; but only a   
   few months thereafter themarriage broke up and ended up in divorce. After the   
   death of her father, shegot married to a Greek for the second time but their   
   marriage lasted only    
   a fewmonths, if not weeks, before it was all over!    
   >    
   > Christinastayed out of marriage for quite some time apparently looking for a   
   happy lifeoutside the marriage bond. However, that happiness did not   
   materialize and,after a few years had elapsed, she felt like flying to find a   
   life of happinessunder the    
   marriage bond once again. This time her choice for a husband was froma   
   completely different camp from communist Russia! To many who knew her   
   freestyle western life, this step, indeed, became an interesting, if not   
   perturbingor excruciating experience.    
   And when once asked by a pressman of this move, shehad a ready answer which   
   was simple, short, but frank: "I am searching forhappiness".    
   >    
   > Of course, her two previous marriages were withmen from the West; and since   
   they both failed, she thought that she could"discover" some happiness in the   
   East. But here too she was only trying out herluck with no guarantees. When   
   pressmen interviewed    
   her for a second time herunchanged reply was: "I am searching for   
   happiness..!"    
   >    
   > Butwas she really happy about her marriage in Russia? Never! She hardly   
   remainedwith the Russian for more than a year before she eventually divorced   
   him!    
   >    
   > Apparently, that was not the end of the marriage "dilemma".Back in Europe   
   she decided to give it one more final try this time with a Frenc   
   industrialist, the fourth husband from a fourth different country in hardly   
   aperiod of two years! What a    
   miserable and unsecured life it has been. It wasduring one of those occasions   
   at a party relating to this last marriage that apressman asked her whether she   
   was the richest woman and her frank reply went asfollows: Yes! I am the   
   richest woman but the    
   unhappiest....    
   >    
   > The marriage with the French industrialist went ahead as planned but it   
   tookonly a few months to exist before it was all gone!    
   >    
   > Havingfailed to achieve happiness under marriage life, Christina vowed not   
   to marryagain and endeavored to achieve happiness "on her own". However,   
   happiness wasimpossible for her even on her own and she spent the rest of her   
   life in adesperate manner    
   full of frustrations and disappointments and of frenzy travelsbetween the   
   world's major cities until, finally, she was found lying dead insidea hotel in   
   Argentina. Who killed her? She committed suicide! What an unhappyending for a   
   very, very wealthy lady!   
       
   >    
   > Was her wealth able tobuy her happiness?    
   >    
   > NEVER, INDEED!!!!!!!    
   > Is happiness achieved in Rank And Position?!
