I had decided to blog about my own English paper titles Money ensures happiness. What is your opinion? Did this for my Trials English Paper 2011 ; Section B. I got 28/50 for this factual essay tho :/
I strongly disagree with the statement above. No, money does not ensure happiness.
Money. It makes the world go round. Flip a coin and as you can see, the end of every wealth is betrayal. Betrayal to yourself and people around you.
Ding Xiao-ping once said, to be wealthy is by being healthy. Therefore, having lots of money would not necessarily ensure you a healthy lifestyle to enjoy life. What is the point of having millions of cash in your bank account but you are suffering all kinds of diseases?
Not only health, but family. Would you rather have your family just by your side, just because you are rich? So, what happens if you suddenly go bankrupt tomorrow? I wonder would your family still be there? I don't think so.
Besides that, money also creates evil in you. Money tens to create greed in an individual. We humans, we never get enough in life. For an example, lets just say you are earning RM 1000 each month. Now, when you have enough money, you decided to buy a Kancil. A car. Ten years later, your salary increases from RM 1000, you are now earning as much as RM 10000 per month. The best pat is you used to be an office boy and today, you are a boss! A boss of your own company. Now, would you still be driving your old Kancil? No! No! Why? It is because you feel like you have to buy a better car. A more grand one to reflect you as a boss. A Toyota maybe? A Camry? How long are you going to keep doing that? It is the mentality in the society that as long as you have money, you are happy. But no! It is not!
Do the society know how much you stressed out are you at work place? being wealthy does not come handy, but it requires hard work! But wait, hang in there! People often say that there is no free lunch in the world and in fact I believe in that, but hey! You can have everything and anything you want if you are wealthy. but! Can you buy the love of your life with money? You can never! a guy or a girl must only love you for who you are, whether you are rich, poor, short, tall, pretty or ugly. Sincerely, if he loves you, he would sacrifice anything and everything just to be with you. Now, here is the question! If you are rich, how sure are you that he loves you for who you are and not for your wealth? What if all those sweet promises and those sweet words are just for the sake of your money?
You can never know. What if you suddenly faced an accident and you went into comma. Would he be there for you? Would he be looking after you? What if he left you for another woman with your money then? How would you feel? See! After all, money does not ensures happiness know?!
Next, being wealthy in directly builds you up to be a materialistic person. you will fall in love with every single thing in life you see. You will yearned for it. Imagine having everything you ever dreamed, don't you want it? Can you see it? You and I, all the fame. Sounds exciting isn't it? Personal stylist, agent and the publicity . Become superstar! You want it all@ But wait! Imagine this! You owned a big three storey bungalow. The garden are all filled with flowers, roses, plants and trees. You have a big swimming pool. You have a personal jacuzzi. You practically have everything at home sweet home. Dream come true right? But, the problem is! You are living alone! Does it still sounds fun now? You have absolute no one to share your problems with and you have no one to share the fun together. After all, money definitely does not ensure happiness.
Moreover, being wealthy do not buy your true friends. How would you know that they are there around you not for the sake of money? See, after all, being rich is not so fun though. You only find real friends when they stay with you during your hard times in life. They stick around you. they share your problems and they advice you. But, of you have money, they only tend to find you and hang out with you just for the sake because you are rich. How would you know that they do not back-stab you? You may never know. What if you are going through hardship? Would they still be there for you or otherwise? God knows. I doubt they would.
Being wealthy might give you the feeling of being secured but the fear of getting robbed or kidnapped is even way more scarier. You could not even get a good night sleep thinking whether is your money placed in the right hands or at the right place. You would be practically worried 24 hours, seven days week. Now, how do you enjoy life if you are so tensed all the time? You fear getting robbed in the middle of the night and when you are out shopping, you fer being kidnapped. So, what is the point of having so much money but scared all the times in life? Isn't life is about enjoying? So does money ensures you happiness by being scared the whole time?
Another thing about being wealthy is that when you go out with your friends, colleagues or anyone, they tend to keep quiet and pretend don't know when the bills are presented. They assume that, you being the rich one, it is your duty to spend them. FOREVER AND ALWAYS. They tend to be nice to you and take advantages on you just for the sake of your wealth that you would be buying and spending them basically everything. Such a waste isn't it? Spending all your hard earn cash on other people. Now, let me ask you again, do money ensure happiness?
After all, money can never buy one's happiness. Even if it is to get a pure smile from the one you love most, money might not help you. But health, family, friends and love sure do shower and colour your life with happiness.
