I still remember the day my parents bought me a geometry box when I was in school. That's when I squealed with joy and showed it to my classmates. I felt that I was the happiest person on earth. There will never be another moment like that in our lives.
Eventually, we grow up. Our joy when purchasing new pens, backpacks, and geometry boxes will never be matched by the items we purchase today, no matter how big or small.
Life changes as we mature. People are rarely aware of it. As we age, the kid inside us also grows. This child is immortal. As we grow older, stress, responsibilities, failures, worry, overthinking, pressure, and other factors drive the child to become increasingly isolated.
It is a common sight to see old uncles around us always in a sad mood, regardless of what great has happened to them.
I'll end with a vexing question: Where do we seek happiness?
In my opinion, happiness occurs when a kid within us or a child within us comes out to play. Whether we are 12 or 80, we'll always be a kid. In fact, it is simply the difference between a child and an adult child.

Greed ultimately prevents us from enjoying the small pleasures in life. The desire for more is also beneficial since it drives us to work harder. At the same time, it has the potential to escalate into Hell. The formula to balance greed is one I don't know yet.
