You are implying that someone who has everything you mentioned is happy, when it's often the opposite. The society we live in burns people emotionally, and it's precisely because of the lack of understanding from people like you (no offense intended) that we can't often do more about it. Do we work to live or live to work? Is donating money actually going to make him happy when he can't see the results first hand? Does money actually make people happy if we don't even have time to spend that money doing the things we would like to do? (It's common in the US to have shorter vacations than a lot of other countries.)
