5. Write a brief summary of the following passage :—
Money cannot buy happiness. And it is not the only thing that necessarily brings our happiness. Happiness is absolutely a psychological thing. It is the name of a feeling. It means the contenment of the mind. He who is satisfied with what he gets and is content with his life is really happy. Happiness cannot be purchased with money. No doubt, money has something to do with happiness but it cannot give us happiness. So we see that the richest men of our society are not the happinest men. They lead a life burdened with cares and anxieties and pass sleepless nights. On the other hand, there are a large number of poor men who are happy and enjoy a sound sleep. The man who is honest and virtuous, thought not rich, does. not suffer from anguish of life. His conscience does not torment him. Hence money cannot ensure happiness, it is only moral and spiritual development that gives us happiness.
