Can Money Buy Happiness.. by nopecin(m): 1:15pm On Sep 05, 2013 |
Hello my fellow niaralanders....I have been hear this for a long time now that money can't buy happiness, but now I came to my senses and think of it and I can say No to the saying. Can anyone pls tell me what happiness is all about and what you understand by that saying "money can't buy happiness". Waiting for a reasonable contribution to this....cheers |

I think those who has made money should be in a better position to tell us how it feels sitting on a good fraction of the world's cake. |

Let's say Mr. X is unhappy with himself but he has money. He goes out and buys material things with it. These things require Mr. X to expend energy to care for them, keep them safe from being stolen and worry if they are going to get damaged. He also needs a place to keep these things and in some cases even needs insurance on them. He enjoys using these things but the energy required by these things outweighs the pleasure he gets from them. He finds that the more things he owns the less energy he has for himself. He realizes that none of these things have made him any different. End result: Money has bought him a bunch of energy draining material things he has to worry about, making his original unhappiness with himself worse. Still unhappy with himself, Mr. X goes out and buys services with his money. For example, cable tv, plane tickets, amusement park tickets, catered meals, etc. He uses all the services and has fun doing it but at the end of the day he realizes that he is still the same person and these services have not changed his life. End result: He has spent more money but this time has nothing to show for it. Now Mr. X has realizes that buying these material things and services has not changed his life. He is still unhappy with himself but now he's upset about all of the money he spent. So he begins to worry about how to get more money and as a result becomes more unhappy. Conclusion: Money has bought Mr. X unhappiness. -Money is the first step on the long road to nowhere. |

it cant, but it can just provide for the things you need or want, thats all. nothing to do with happiness, true happiness can only come from God. |

nopecin:lol, those who has aquired some wealth will always accuse theose who are yet to do so of not seeing their unhappiness within, and the poor keep accusing the rich of standing as a hurdle to their success. Are we sensing any deception somewhere? |
