MONEY AND HAPPINESS

MONEY AND HAPPINESS

Everybody aims at having a lot of money in order to be able to make all his dreams come true. People say that, generally, money brings happiness, but is it an absolute happiness?

We could say that money brings happiness but only to a certain extent: one can have almost everything he wants in matters of the latest fashion, a comfortable house, the best car and holidays in exotic places. It is very pleasant not to think that you won’t have enough money to pay your bills or to give your children for their ever day necessities. These frustrations make one feel very unlucky when he sees how others spend great amounts of money on expensive clothes or just to take dinner in a restaurant.

But on the other hand there are a lot of poor people who feel very happy only because they have a nice family, based on confidence and good communication. They consider happiness comes with love between the members of the family or with a walk in the forest on a sunny day. This makes some people understand that there are other beauties life can offer except those given by money.

However, we should not forget the fact that there are rich persons who aren’t happy because life was a little harsh with them. They have probably lost a very dear person, they have serious health problems, and they feel that they don’t have good friends, or they just feel that something misses from their lives. That’s why we can admit that sometimes money doesn’t bring complete happiness. And here we can add an interesting aspect: we can think of famous persons like singers, actors or sportsmen and women. They feel very comfortable because they have enough money to spend on whatever they want to, but at the same time they feel very harassed by external factors such as mass-media, paparazzi or even their fans. Their movements and actions are always analyzed and celebrities have to take care of their image constantly and try to avoid making mistakes.

To conclude, we can say that material success breeds happiness but not always and people should appreciate other pleasures life gives us at every instant.
