What is happiness? According to the dictionary, happiness is a mental or emotional state of positive or pleasant emotions. Now think carefully: what does happiness mean to you? Many people say money can't buy happiness, some say it can. People say: "How can you not be happy when you have a lot of money?" » But people also say, “Having too much money can be detrimental to happiness.” » To me, money is just a green paper that allows you to buy the things you want and need. But can this green paper really give you happiness? After reading my article, think again about the question and what do you think is true. I'm going to share with you a little story about someone who thinks that money can't buy happiness. This story is written by a seventeen year old girl named Michelle who was asked this question in an interview for the New York Daily News, so read and think about her story: I never really thought about the expression “money can’t buy happiness”. was true. When I was a kid, just watching the people around me, I would watch the moment they get money and a huge smile would spread across their face, the corners of their smile extending from one ear to the other. Every time I saw that smile and someone's face light up at the sight of a clean, green beak, it made me believe that I had proven the famous expression wrong. Now that I have grown up and matured, my idea of ​​this expression has changed. From now on, I am able to think more about life and examine things, and especially people, more deeply than I was years ago. But my ideas about this phrase changed the most because of the financial situation my family had found itself in due to the failing economy. I remember being younger, when the economy was good, and waking up to twenty presents for each of my three sisters and me. We used to believe that all these gifts, brought by money of course, were the best part of waking up. at Christmas. Of course, all these toys and material objects would make a child happy; but looking back, it would only make them happy if it was given to them by someone who bought it for them with love..
