The best way to ensure the happiest nation is to keep the smallest diffference in richest and poorest. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

For decades we discussed about disparity between poor and rich, about how the sense of deprivation cause the jealousy, how the injustice business occupy the middle level's space, and how inresourceful younsters struggle to make ends meet when overpriviledged people squandering their wealth. To me, the question is not about wealth disparity that holds us back from feeling happy, it's about the lack of self-fullfillment.

We live in highly capitalized society where great amount of wealth controlled by only few people. Of course narrowing the disparity between rich and poor helps to ease the morose in middle class's mind. However, I think many still will be as angry as they are even if we abituarily restrict the rich people's operation of their assets and redistributed the money to the poorers. The crux of the problem of people living depressively is that they find no determination to achieve. We've been programmed to lead a life that social norm prevails over the personal values. However we tried to realize the personal career, it would end up interfered by the majority, such as peers, parents, or the superiors. Any unconventional move is not deemed as innovative here, instead, it would be categorized as traitorous and dangerous action. Profit-driven habits that we've been installed persuades us not to waste on risky deals. Disciplinicity is stressed too often in our education and few people hardly have a chance to fight against the very mindset. The unmotivated people further worsen the situation where young people get almost no opportunities to thrive and no financial support for wider exposures. Sadly speaking, the whole catastrophe in our society is going to get worse if the governement keep ignoring the problems in this imbalance distribution on chances and resources, or even keep encouraging rich people maneuver their money unconditionally. Still, some tinkerers have find a way out and try to use their experience to help other people having similar difficulties. Collectively if we believe and make actions, it would finally curb the existing situation.

All that being said, while I agree with the idea that happiest nation has smallest difference in richest and poorest, I also believe people need to find their spiritual dependence other than virtual banknotes and coins. Since money couldn't buy the health, serendipity, or inner tranquility, we all need something more than wealth to create the actual happiness.
