Happiness

Happiness is owning a bungalow, a Mercedes Benz or a collecting of branded clothes. This is the idea of many if we ask them what is happiness. Do you agree with them? I agree that we can be happy by living a luxurious life but remember money by itself cannot bring happiness. Happiness means feeling or expressing pleasure or contentment. This can be attained through many means.

   A healthy lifestyle will pave way towards happiness. A healthy person will lead a happier life compared to a person who is ill. An invalid may be a millionaire but he may not have the chance to consume delicious delicacies.

   Education is the key to success. Knowledge cannot be obtained by money. An educated and knowledgeable person will always be honoured and respected wherever they are. Wealthy parents tend to spend a large amount of money to educate their children but not all children prosper in their education.

   Harmony and peace are the spine in ones life. Harmony and peace can be achieved by having a good attitude, rational thinking and consideration towards others. Similarly, world wide problems can also be solved with the same consideration and rational thinking by people in authority. This clearly proves that money cannot buy these kinds of positive traits.

   The above said aspects of happiness will only be meaningful if it is shared with others, namely family and friends. Sincere friends will not take into account of our financial status. Furthermore, family members do not keep monetary gains in their mind to assist their own family members. Assistance is given to another family member out of love and affection.

   In conclusion, it is obvious that money by itself cannot fall into place for a man’s happy living. Although money is essential in our daily lives but that is not the criteria for a peaceful and harmonious living. Generally, if everybody observes the fact that money by itself cannot bring happiness, there will be less problems in our daily lives.
