You can't have happiness with wealth, fame, or power. You can only find happiness by your virtue. If you have the most wealth, you would want more and more and never achieve happiness, but if your poor you will work so hard to sacrifice some of your happiness and will take a long time. If you have all the fame and power, you can easily go down because everyone is watching your every single move which will never achieve happiness. If you develop your virtue however, you will feel happy that you did something good and develop more virtue.

Connections:

The connects to Philosophy because Buddha said that in order to achieve true happiness you must give up everything and be one with nature, be a good person and help one another. This is a virtue ethics where you do good to others to achieve something even greater, which is happiness. Aristotle said that It is also necessary to practice prudence of character and have a good “daimon,” meaning good fate or good luck in order to lead a full and truly happy life. It is like karama, do good so then you get back the good in a different form.
