We all suffer. Happiness does not end suffering, it merely affects how we process it, how we perceive it. It's interesting you bring up "feeling good". That is about pleasure, about external stimuli. Happiness is fulfillment within ourself. Which means it has not much to do with monetary status. Yes, money affords you comfort and pleasure, and those are nice things to have. It does not afford you happiness. To put it into a Tony Robbins quote: "Having money doesn't mean you don't have problems. It just means you get to roll up to your problems in a limo" And "a world with no love or caring or community" - that is, ultimately, our own choice. We can choose to put love in the world, or we can withhold it. We can choose to care about other people. We can build a community. It won't be provided to us - happiness, and love, and caring, require all of us to work for their existence.
