The good life isn't based on material happiness, but the good life needs material happiness. The whole idea that we don't need money to be happy is put out by the rich and powerful to keep the masses from mutiny. The Catholic church is a big purveyor of this false idea.

Women give things less value because:
1. they make less money
2. it does not make sense to equate life with money

What a load of crap. Happiness is not paid for in money. Happiness is an abstract currency returned to people in return for living their lives according to their own desires and morals, what ever they may be.
