I just saw a movie "the pursuit of happiness" and i think the money bring the happiness almost all the time, but it's for a short period of time.

Certainly NOT. Money does NOT bring happiness although I am sure that a lot of people will disagree. Money CERTAINLY CONTRIBUTES to happiness but it does not BRING it. Money is a necessity, without it - there certainly with be a lot of circumstances that will make you unhappy, however, it does not bring you happiness.
Some of the richest people in the world, are the loneliness, most unhappy people that exists - they may appear to be happy in public but believe me, they are not.
Take on the other hand the person(s) who have all of their needs me with a little left for emergencies, who have a healthy supportive family and friends, a personal relationship with the Creator, even those in the same position without being born again, these are the people you will find who are the happiest.
I usually feel very sorry for people who are wealthy for they are the most unhappy and empty inside.
To strive to get money to supply your needs can be one of the most rewarding experience in life. Wealthy people already have it and usually have nothing to strive for. Striving gives life purpose.
Very good and interesting question and this has been my contribution on this topic. I look forward to reading all of the other diverse opinions on this.
Cheers!

Most material things will only bring temporary happiness. True happiness has to come from within. Happiness comes from achieving goals and having self satisfaction. If money is one of those goals, then maybe it can. If you think money will buy you happiness, money can only buy you things that make you happy. That happiness will most likely be short. Then you will find the need to buy something else. You have to be happy with who and what you are first.

From my point of view money is happines because without money you cant do anything! Serious. But you can not be happy on money alone.
Most people like being treated or to treat someone, and for that you need money, but if you do not have anyone to treat or be treated by then you would also not be happy.
I hope you get it.

Money bring you 'unreal happiness', death, 'slave greatness'...
Losing money or lacking money is not dangerous, what's dangerous is to live like a slave for Morality, self-masturbation, serving stupid and contemptible old lady
