Most people agree that money cannot be happiness. Why is happiness difficult to define? How can people achieve happiness?
It is agreed by most
people
that they are not necessarily happy even if they have money. However
, it is difficult to define happiness
, as there are so many other factors contributing to it. Being aware of as many types of joy in life
as possible is crucial for people
to achieve happiness
.
The reason happiness
cannot be easily defined is that it is determined by each person based on their life
experience. In other words
, individuals have different things in life
such
as personalities, occupations and relationships therefore
the definition of happiness
varies from person to person. For example
, someone who is in poor health conditions may find happiness
in just being physically healthy and having the basic human needs, while a doctor in a developing country feels happiness
through job satisfaction rather than a high salary.
With regard to the steps people
can take in order to live in contentment, it is important to define happiness
in many different ways. That is
to say, if people
have only one source of prosperity, it increases the chance of becoming unhappy as there is no guarantee that they can secure it. For instance
, if someone only defines happiness
as discovering a perfect partner, they are likely to feel dissatisfied with their life
unless they meet the one for whom they are searching. In such
a case, it is much easier to become happier by finding ways to enjoy life
on their own.
To conclude, happiness
cannot be easily defined, as circumstances in life
affect how we perceive it. In my view, I feel that by realizing that there are a lot of things in which we can take pleasure, we would be able to be content with our lives.Submitted by a170077n on
