As it is currently in the world, especially in my continent, Africa, whenever the debate about whether money can buy happiness arises, many people argue that "money is a source of happiness." I won't mince words—I am among those in this category. A lot of opposing debaters would argue that money can only buy a temporary smile and can't guarantee a lifetime of joy and peace of mind. To some extent, that's true, but only a few people see it that way, and they are mostly people who have experienced wealth and realized that money isn't everything.

As for me, I would like to be in a position to taste wealth and see for myself that it's not everything before I join them. Funny, just joking.
Talking about Peace Of Mind, that's one of the greatest things a human being would fight for because when it comes, it overshadows everything troubling the heart, including the scarcity of money. Don’t you agree?
Tekno did a song last year titled Peace of Mind, and in that song, he clearly emphasized that peace of mind is underrated, and that's the honest truth. As harsh as this may sound, peace of mind is far more important than money because we've seen many situations where billionaires are running up and down, maybe on health issue, even when they have all the money in the world to take care of their needs. Having a good life that's free from trouble that brings peace of mind is just too underrated. But, because the love of money has enveloped the heart of man, the quest to find money is all a person cares for, especially when pursuing wealth in dubious ways, neglecting how troublesome life becomes when there's no peace attached to it.
The discussion of peace of mind doesn't only center on life with money—it extends far beyond that, touching many areas of life. Another common one is love, marriage, and relationships. You'll see people marrying based on what they stand to gain, which lasts only for a while, without considering the longevity of the marriage or the peace of mind they'll enjoy. I have seen women who marry for money, even when they know their husband's source of wealth isn't genuine. They're not concerned about it; all they want is to live and enjoy the money. In the short run, however, the home becomes troubled, and they start going to the mountains for marathon fasting and prayers.
Men are no different. Some marry women they know they're not compatible with, but because they can't resist the beauty, they proceed with the marriage. In the end, trouble and complaints arise.
There so many areas on this subject that people violate. What of those going for body enlargement and at a long run, thr negative effect fires and they begin to live a life full of inconveniences.
In this life, as much as we aim for a better life, we should always prioritize peace of mind—the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Thank you!
