Can Money Buy Happiness?

in #money7 years ago (edited)

This is a question that is always in the spotlight, for being a question that brings different points of views. About whether money really buys happiness. For many, money if it buys happiness and for others is not so true that, really is so. 

We know that money can be achieved in many ways, even if, varying the amount, Some people have more than they need and others do not have much, and they need to live a decent life. Therefore, in our societies, there are those inequities, which are highly criticized by people of scarce economic resources. 

Now, the question is  Why do we live in such an unequal society in that sense? I think it has a lot to do with the circumstances of the people and how they were raised. Though these circumstances should not be seen, as an excuse Because you're poor! Life proves in some way, that you have different opportunities, for your life to change and you can have a better lifestyle, that depends exclusively on you.

For example, there are people who have a lot of money and share through social networks, as they travel the world, as they eat in the best restaurants, their luxury cars, their immense yachts. When you review those people in the background, they're not really as happy as they make it look. Usually when people have a lot of money, they tend to want a lot more, for them there is no limit, because they are aware that, in order to live a life of luxuries, they need to generate more income.

Although, it must be said, that, in many cases, people become sick and commit acts that can be considered illegal. It is there, when generating money through these methods, becomes an eternal headache, which ends up triggering, that the money obtained, is not equal to happiness. Especially because when you're in such a high social status, you have to look for ways to keep yourself, for that, of what the "high society" can say.

Yes, we see it that way, it's a very perverse and damaging world. But, not all cases are like that. People who are low-income, usually feel envious, by people who have a lot of money and catalog it from “Superficial people”. But they do not realize that they too would like to belong to that high society, almost exclusive. When you ask him: Because you're poor? In a lot of cases, people respond: “Who have not had opportunities, that the ruler does not do his job...” Among other things. 

If something, has shown our history, as a society, is that when there is a crisis, it is a great opportunity to grow and take advantage of those, that all they do is complain. That they assume, that others should save their lives, without them making due effort to live better.

If Money buys happiness! It is a topic very subjective, because in some cases, certainly if you buy happiness, because our society works to get money and get the goods and services. Really, it's a much broader issue, because it has to do with a lot of things. Fighting for money is synonymous with gaining power, that power that will allow you to get much more from the first (Money).

That's why I think that money can be a way to get happiness, but that doesn't mean its everything. There are things that are of greater importance. Also, this topic, I think it can be seen in many possible ways, that's why, that I would like you to participate and give your point of view in relation to this topic.
