Many people think that every individual is responsible for their happiness, but some people believe there are other external factors that influence us. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Striving for

happiness

has always been one of the primary objectives of human beings. Some people believe that the ability to be happy depends on an individual themselves, while others say that several external influences may impede. I am of the opinion that

outer

not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied

other

factors play a vital role in people’s

happiness

. On the one hand, the achievement life satisfaction is clearly considered unattainable without an open mindset of a person.

This

means that a positive attitude as well as the ability to receive pleasure

are supposed

Suggestion

is supposed

to be essential elements of

happiness

.

Therefore

, people who opt to establish low benchmarks and live to their standards may consider themselves satisfied with their lives.

For example

, the opulent are not always regarded as happy people owing to the individual requirements; and often exorbitant purchases do not entail

happiness

.

In other words

, people who crave for

happiness

ought to possess the right state of mind.

On the other hand

, I reckon that several

externalities

affect humans’ pursuit

for

Suggestion

of

wellbeing, namely the government and spontaneous health issues.

Firstly

, the authorities encroach upon one’s

happiness

by implementing unjust laws, which exacerbate the person’s life quality.

Moreover

, another uncontrolled factor is terminal illnesses that cast a shadow on of the most crucial property of people, their health. The above-mentioned phenomenon defy control and should be taken into consideration as the most damaging factors for

happiness

. To conclude,

although

I admit the role of a personal attitude, I strongly believe that external factors

such

as diseases and governmental interference must be dealt with in determining people’s

happiness

.
