Some people think that money is one of the most essential factors in promoting happiness. Do you think people can be happy without much money? What other factors contribute towards happiness?
It is considered by many that
money
is one of the most important factors to achieve happiness
. One of the logical reasons is that money
has become a tool to support one’s life including basic necessities and lifestyle which vary in every individual.
There are some cases where people
with certain lifestyle does not feel the urge to earn and spend lots of money
. They just have to save enough amount of it to survive. When their primary needs are fulfilled, they already feel pleased about it. Therefore
, it is true that some people
can be really happy without much money
. However
, this
may not apply in general as the budget for fulfilling primary needs is also
increasing every year.
Actually, there is another factor that might help people
strive towards happiness
other than money
. For instance
, people
can experience happiness
from spending time on small things around them, such
as having quality time with family, eating delicious food, contributing to a charity event, taking an evening stroll at the park, or even just stroking a wandering stray cat around the neighbourhood. These activities are able to contribute to wellbeing which is a strong foundation for happiness
. Hence
, time as well as
money
is equally important to feel secure. When people
feel secure, they are more likely to feel happy.
To sum up
, money
is not the only essential solution in order to find happiness
. It is also
important for each individual to try
walk slowly and look more at their surroundings. Add the particle
totry
Therefore
, hopefully, they can proceed to find their own happiness
at their own pace.Submitted by sigit.yuniar on
