Money can not buy happiness


Composition-reasoning on the topic: “Money is not happiness!” The pupil asked the Master: – How true are the words that happiness is not in money? He replied that they are completely faithful.

But not the mind. And what is said does not exhaust the list. (Parable of unknown origin) For centuries, mankind has been seeking an answer to the question: is money happiness? Researchers from different countries claim that they found the answer. Economists, trying to answer this question, proceed from the fact that the more money the seller receives or the more the customer retains, the more he will be satisfied (or, one can say, happy).

Happiness). “And they came to the conclusion that money can make people happier when it comes to moving from a state of extreme poverty to the middle class, but they do not have a tangible impact in the future.” Is it possible to buy happiness for money? Many philosophers and idealists, foreign to pragmatism, will answer: “In no event!” But there is also a very good slogan: “Those who say that happiness can not be bought for money, they simply waste it wrong.”
