Here in India where I live, I have    72    through villages where people seemed to earn just enough to make ends meet. I have seen happiness there. I have seen     73     faces and smiling eyes that readily gave me directions. They were very     74   and made my journey easier.

I have also worked for 3 years on Wall Street, in a big Investment Bank. I have seen some people with a lot of     75   but still unhappy. I am not saying that all rich are unhappy (or the poor, happy). But the fact that there    76   some rich people who look angry or listless (无精打采的) and there are some poor people who     77    happy, points out that there must be something else to     78   , than just money, luxury (奢侈品) and comfort.

Happiness, it seems, is not a factor of how much you have. You can feel happy  79     to a good song, you can feel happy watching a beautiful sunrise, you can feel happy in any number of ways that don’t require any possessions at     80  . .
