Happiness and its relation with money.
Happiness. It varies from person to person. People own their distinctive ideas about it. And definitely there's people who don't hold any knowledge about it and they can also be happy. Money is a chief variable of happiness for someone, some think Money is the only variable and someone thinks money is nothing about it. I think money is one of the variables of being happy. And I believe that my thinking can be changed one day with circumstances.
Hello guys. How are you? It was Sunday and the starting day of the week for us. Although I know it is a holiday for maximum countries of the world especially in European countries. I had three classes today. I haven’t written an article yesterday because I was busy with my assignment task. Today was the submission date. That's why I need to spend a lot of time on that. Anyway I choose to write about a sensitive topic. Happiness and money relations. Let's start.
What is happiness? Happiness is the satisfaction of a person. Someone becomes happy after getting a bicycle and someone becomes happy after getting a luxurious car. Things make me happy too. But the satisfaction level varies from Person to person. The person who can be satisfied with maximum things or time in his life, i think he is a happy person.
Before starting I want to ensure that this topic is subjective and it will definitely vary from person to person.
What do you mean by happiness? Happiness is a feeling, it is a situation, which can't be touched or seen. The person who is free from any tensions can be regarded as a happy person. It is better known by the person oneself.
What is the relation between money and happiness? Do you think that your time will go well if you Don't have money? I think it will not. Without money you will suffer with serious problems in life. Money gives the Foundation of being happy.
Yes it is true that money can't buy happiness. But without money you will buy sadness free. And as it is a binary system that sadness means absence of happiness and happiness means absence of sadness. Then it is sure that without money you will be in danger in this modern world.
Now a question Will arise: why do people who have a lot of money remain unhappy several times? I have an answer to this question. If anyone thinks that money is everything then he will become unhappy. When anybody thinks that money is everything, he or she tries to have more and more money. His or her demands never stop. And these nonstop demands make them unhappy.
What are the other ingredients besides money to become happy? I think it is knowledge. There is a common saying that knowledge is power. When knowledge of happiness and money meets together then a person can become happy easily. But there is another problem of wise people. We will discuss it one day.
What needs to know to be happy? Let me tell you what I know and what my perspective is. You have to know how to limit your demands. If you can't limit your demands then you will fall into a constant rat race. We know that property is limited and the demands of humans are unlimited. But people who can balance it can become happy in life.
I want to share with you a story which I read in a great novel, Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A boy was working as a shopkeeper. One day the owner of the shop called him and sent him to know about happiness from the wisest person at that time.
The wisest person used to live in the Apex of a hill. The boy climbed the hill and went in front of the wisest person. The boy told him that he was sent by his owner to learn about happiness. The wisest person gave him a spoon filled with milk. Then the person told him to walk around the garden.. But be careful whether the milk remains on the spoon.
The boy walked for some time and came back. The person asked the boy, is the milk safe on the spoon. Boy said yes, master. Then asked what you have seen in the garden? Nothing master. Go again and come after seeing everything and keep the milk safe.
They boy went again to the garden. After seeing the garden he became impressed. Because it was very beautiful. Like heaven. After an hour he came back. The person asks him what he has seen. The boy replied he saw beautiful things he had ever seen in life. Then the person asked where the milk was?. The boy looked at the spoon and saw there's no milk. He had forgotten about it after seeing the beauties.
Then the wisest person said, happiness lies in balancing the milk and beauties. In the book alchemist I loved it most.
So in the end, i want to say that in life those people are more happy who can balance between demands and ability. Who knows limitations and who becomes satisfied with less. That's all I had to say. Thanks for reading my article.
Dissimilarities: this article is written on my perspective. And I mentioned in the beginning that everyone has his own perspectives.
All the pictures are mine.
This simple mindset shift could make a difference in the way people view success and their lives, but of course there are other variables at play. For example, while this study didn’t cover how income specifically affects life satisfaction, researchers agree that it also impacts people’s happiness.
