Can you "Buy" True Happiness?

this explains it. money can only give you happiness for a limited time. true happiness lasts forever.

 

Ohhhh son, if only that were true...

 

even tho it could make things easyer for you if you have money,
Pure hapiness can never be buyéd you will always feel some emptyness inside you!
So NO! but this doesnt mean that it cant make you hapier!
money is only temporary, what you buy with it also but thrue hapiness is never gone! but your money will -_-

 

money can and will buy happiness, just don't "spend it on friends" just go buy games and play online and stuff

 

Circumstances change, you can be truly happy but what if a tsunami came and smashed down your house and killed your family?
True happiness can be gone in an instant, it isn't guaranteed to last forever.

I dont't think its possible to be truly happy in todays society with no money, and money alone can't make you truly happy.
Somewhere in between, and different for everybody is what im going for.

You forgot to put [sarcasm][/sarcasm] in

 

i consider my self poor but still able to support my everyday need. i cant be rich if i'm only earning 1.2k a month and paying 80% for expenses. Also its hard to be happy, when you spend your childhood envying what other have or working when other kids enjoying their vacation. so ya, i never been happy and i am poor, i grow up knowing money make the world turn. thats why i said my happiness fall between flying pigs and hell freeze over. but one good thing is, i accept reality. i dont fool myself thinking i dont need money or i'm happy.

nothing last forever.

 

I knew that because ive been there too.
If you do get a lot of money, it won't make you happy, you think it will and want it because you have never had it. How do you know it will solve your problems?

 

Heck if you won the big jackpot in the lottery the first thing you might think of right off the bat is how you'll get a hold of the money without any big crime syndicates wanting to steal it away from you....

Something of the sort happened here some time ago, the winner of the big lottery has had his daughter kidnapped by people who knew of him & his lucky win & they demanded his winnings as ransom for his daughter's safe return.

So yeah, more money actually means more worries in the long run.

 

Money does not accomplish in "buying" happiness, it is only attained when it is achieved. A person's well-being can only be satisfied based on the materials he or she wants. This sort of thing forms a difficult malady for the mind because it constitutes the vices of the heart between pleasures.

Let's say someone gets all worked up for getting a new game. The person cannot afford it but then works really hard for it, spends all of his or her time thinking of specifically that one game. That desire for pleasure further agitates his or her consciousness into obsession.

In my opinion, happiness has to be searched internally within your self-worth towards others and you have to be able to reflect upon that. A sense of connection would be the best way to go.

 

because all my problem come from lack of money. so having billion would solve all my problem and i will live without worries.

not for me, i dont have any children, the only person they can kidnap is my sister, and by all mean, take her. they just do me a favor.

 

Wrong. Not all your problems are from lack of money.
You can chase money all your life if you want, instead why don't you find a nice girl, if she works too then you will have more money. Get a house and enjoy life best you can.
Seeing your child smile is better than any amount of money.

 

if i find a rich girl and marry her, thats her money, not mine. i'm still poor. plus its worse, i been looked down upon by my "rich relative" on my whole life, i'm not going to go through that with rich in-laws.

if only you have the finance to back that smile. raising a child is not cheap, plus you also need to make sure they are well educated, from kindergarten til university.

 

With your life outlook, I'm really not surprised you're unhappy. In fact, with your life outlook, I'm not sure happiness is even a possibility for you.

 

Have you ever had a relationship? You share, pay bills etc together.
Also why does it have to be a rich girl? If you find a girl that earns the same as you, you have doubled the income and still only have the same rent/mortgage to pay.

 

nope, never as i dont see the point of getting a love interest when i'm poor. its not like i can give her a good life.

sure if i'm in a relationship with someone who have similar income then our income would be double but, since both of us is poor, how do we get married? well that can be solve if i meet a girl who want a simple marriage but what are the chances of me meeting one. o.k, let said she agree to a simple marriage but what would her family think of me? for sure i'm not going asking money from my mom just to get married. hell, i dont even able to save enough for a HD TV, where do i find the money for a proposal ring.

o.k, let said i meet the perfect girl, who their family doesnt care my background, income nor question my ability to take care of her and make her happy, how about children? even with double income i doubt we'll able to support a children. not to mention since both of us is working, who will take care of the baby? dump the baby to grandparent? or dump the baby to daycare center?

that is just raising a kid, what about education? unless our kid is a genius, the next einstein, its very unlikely we'll able to support til university, its questionable if we can afford college.

plus i dont want my kid to grow up envying what other have like i once did.

 

Aha, now this is why you are unhappy.
How old are you by the way? Im guessing mid 20's?

As for the rest of your post - stop making excuses for everything. Happiness wont come to you, get off your arse and go get it.

 

almost late 20s

well my father did get off and do it, and the result are... you already know. so no. i'm not going to make the same mistake as him.

and no, what make me unhappy is working 40 hours a week and still worried if i can make it til the end of the month.

 

Do you see the problem here? Theres a whole range of emotions and feelings that you have never had.
Happiness been one of them.

You seem to think of yourself as a mistake, you should start by having a higher opinion of yourself.

 

can you really blame me? i mean what parent want their kid to suffer? even though they didnt think the children as a mistake, they certainly want to give a good life to their children. something that i'm pretty sure i cant give. like i said, i dont want my kid to be like me when i'm kids.

you are a parent yourself, i'm pretty sure you understand what i'm talking about.

 

It's easier to get over envy than it is to get over being spoiled.

Haven't the hardships you've experienced given you a greater appreciation for what you do have? Don't you feel you understand the value of hard work more than someone who's never had to work a day in his life? These are valuable lessons for anyone in your position to learn, including any children you may have. You'll never be happy if you're always so negative. Try to look on the bright side of life.
