Larxene Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Money by itself might not make you happy, but it can certainly buy things to make you happier. And if what someone wants to be happy is to be in love or have friends or something, they can't do that very well if they're broke and living in a cardboard box in an alley.

Larxene Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ehh you got a point. The things I love usually end up in a dozen pieces and scattered all over my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I don't see how one man giving away lots of money produces the conclusion "money and happiness aren't correlated". That's like saying that one man smoked cigarettes and didn't get cancer, so smoking has no negative effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somehow I feel that cynicism is so ingrained into your being that that would be impossible. So I'm just going to pretend like you never posted. That usually works, right?

Catman25 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Crab's got a point. If your generalization is based on one person's actions, it would be somewhat inaccurate, since it is not representative of the entire population. Not many people would be so bold to do such a thing, considering money makes them happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrow. Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Money and Happiness only works when shared with some one special, loved, or cared about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
