Danilus Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I can't believe I've come across people who actually believe money will guarantee them happiness. Money does not guarantee happiness. The happiest person could be the poorest, the richest, or just someone in between. The some goes for the unhappiest. Whether you have money or not, you can enjoy life. And yes, you can enjoy life to its fullest even if you are lining up at the Homeless Shelter every day. Happiness is not found in material items or in safety; it is found in lovinig someone else, in making the best of every situation, in finding a happy thought, in overcoming struggles with hope, in achieving one's goals, in helping another person, in being passionate about what you do. Naturally, believing money makes you happy is quite different from wanting money. People can wish to be wealthy without believing it will buy them happiness. People just need to understand that money is for buying things and not for, say, filling the heart with love. It is for building a nice house with a lovely garden, which certainly has its advantages, but not for finding the loving family who will live in it with you. Sorry for the long post, I have alot to say on this issue. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordWord Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well i think Money does make you more happy then without, thats just what I think.. Because with Money you can buy cool clothes > Most people respect you = HappyYou can also buy much food if you like, and eating food you like = HappyOr kids with money to buy toys, which makes them Happy! And much much more stuff to buy to make yourself Happy!But afcourse you can be happy if you dont got much money or even dont got 1 cent,But i still think that Money makes you happyer then without.

Oni Link Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 money dont make me happy. some people where i live think money makes the world go round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Money does make the world go round, really, it does. I think money itself does not make me happy, apart from the fact that I can gloat, that makes me happy :twisted: . What money can provide makes me happy, if I walk down the street, and see something in a window that I want to buy, I am very happy that I have the money to buy and therefore can have it, which in turn, will provide me with happiness. However, I do not believe that money and what monay provides will bring you eternal happiness, there's always going to be something that really brings us down and makes us unhappy, like the loss of a loved one, and if a house burns down, I personally haven't had my house burn down, but I would be mortified if something like that happened. Anyway, that's my thought for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Without money, we'd all be communists. But seriously, it's incredibly unlikely you'll be happy without money to even sustain yourself. If you don't then you'll just be depressed that you can't provide for those you love.

Administrators Falling Pizza Posted February 9, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Money makes me so happy that I eat it for breakfast.No really, it's declicious. Especially with some quarter to go along with it. The other thing I like to eat is fast food.That's me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danilus Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Well I must say one thing, I knew people would say that money makes them happy purely because as Frunk said 'Money makes the world go around' and it does.
