Comparing The Golden Curse And Can Money Bring Happiness

Happiness is an emotion that can be very easily obtained however it can be very hard to get that intense of joy sometimes. The emotional state of being content is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. Although there is always that clique question, “Does money create happiness?” To answer that no it does not and there is various ways to prove it. Money is just a piece of paper that controls most of your life ,but happiness is not one of them.

There are people in this world who think that money can give them anything. This can be food to water to ease and joy. Consequently, they comprehend that money will have a life filled with ease and happiness. But what you don’t visualize is that building these thoughts will lead to an obsessive, joyless, person going the extra mile to get that cash. Why this is unacceptable I might add is where is the ease and the joy you endured obsessively to have? Suffering long hours so you have ease but have no time to rest. Tolerating days of labor to find happiness, but find yourself empty when you have nothing to show yourself for it. D.H. Lawrence demonstrates this perfectly in his short story by including foreshadowing and symbolism, “The Rocking

The repercussions of attaining or lacking money changes based on the situation of the person possessing it . One could use money as an instrument to create happiness in spite of its vile nature. On the other hand one could be corrupted by it based on what it 's used for or the impact it has on that person 's character. Based on my personal experiences money has always been the one factor that restrains my family from experiencing constant happiness. But that 's not necessarily the same situation for every family. In “The Glass Castle” the Walls family drifted further apart in result of coming across money. The glass castle was an exciting book with a very unique and adventure seeking family. Rex Walls sand Rose Mary Walls were the parents of Jeanette, Lori, and Brian Walls. Initially the family was poor but over time their wealth would increase and decrease creating a series of complications that the family had to face. While encountering wealth, due to the passing away of Rose Mary’s mother who left her a large house in Phoenix and some money, the family felt out of place because they 've become so accustomed to their lifestyle of struggling. “City life was getting to dad. “I’m starting to feel like a rat in a maze,” he told me. He hated the way everything in Phoenix was so organized, with time cards, bank accounts, telephone bills, parking meters, tax forms, alarm clocks, PTA meetings, and pollsters knocking on the door and prying into your affairs.” (106) Their father

People can not control their happiness and wealth is because in relation to the book “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton it is that nor socs or greasers can control happiness or money because each group has their own set of problems with the two. Because back then the Greasers had problems like getting wealth. The socs on the other hand had wealth but not always happiness, they had other unmentioned problems that Cherry talked about in the book. In other words super rich people have wealth, but they didn’t always have happiness and middle class people didn’t have as much money, but they had less money problems to deal with so that would probably lead to them

The saying ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ is very accurate. A key example of this can be seen in many studies done on people’s lives after they win the lottery. Approximately seventy percent of people who win end up unhappy, some even eventually commit suicide. Those with new found wealth often discover some people are only around for their money. According to studies, it’s common for the wealthy to feel that they are superior to people of a lower class, they can also feel a sense of entitlement. These traits can put a strain on their relationships with other people. In the pages that follow this paper will explain that possessing material items such as money, may bring temporary satisfaction, but cannot provide someone with true happiness.

Andrew Blackman (2014) writes about Can Money Buy You Happiness? He explains how to buy some value of things which can make you happy. Everyone should learn about that money is important, but people cannot buy everything with money. Two important points from the article that I would like to discuss are Blackman’s statements about experience and money, time and money. For me, they are connected to each other.

So as you can see money does play an important role in this story. Everyone has it, and they are defined by it. Whether they have new, old, or no money, it shows in their way of life. We are shown many times in this story, that money does not bring happiness, whether you have a lot,

Can money bring happiness to people? One can argue that money isn’t all that counts in life but is something that can bring happiness for a few moments since people get sad when they are left with no money. A young Jay Gatsby went from rags to riches and thought money was the only thing that would make him happy but wasn’t as happy as he thought he would be since he had no one to share it with. Through Jay Gatsby’s eyes money is a problem for him but had to live with it since he was filthy rich. Although having riches that no one else had, it brought him some happiness when Gatsby and Daisy were together.

It makes people do crazy things. People in the 21st century are obsessed with money, and sometimes it goes to their heads. They think the only way to be happy is is by having money. I guess you can say that money can and can not buy you happiness. Examples from "Great Gatsby" is Daisy knowing that her husband Tom is having an affair but she doesn't leave him or doing anything about it at all. Daisy is not very happy with her life but she is a materialistic person so she stays with him. Unfortunately people in this day and age look for a significant other with money or wealth and so that is exactly what daisy has done. Both Gatsby and Tom love her and but in the end she chooses tom because of his wealth. And another example from the novel is always throughs all these lavish and extravagant party's in the hopes of getting Daisy to be his, although he never really seemed to enjoyed himself, he would just hideout. And also another way to relate is after Gatsby died people stoped caring and not a lot of people showed up to his funeral, and that shows how people only cared for his money and wealth and none of them where really his friends. This relates to the real world for people who are used for their money and materialistic things. So although money may seem like it brings joy and happiness there is no real correlation how happy you are compared to how much money you

Money Cannot Buy Happiness The belief among Americans is that acquiring wealth is how a person becomes successful. In order to acquire wealth a person must work for what he/she wants. Although becoming wealthy has its perks, it also requires great responsibility. Economy, written by Henry David Thoreau, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, and The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola all display the effects of obtaining money and the consequences it can cause.

The character Candide tries to find his happiness through the materialistic things in the world because he believes that that’s what's going to make him happy, ”The first day of their journey was rather pleasant. They were heartened by the thought that they now possessed more treasure than all of Asia, Europe and Africa could assemble” (Voltaire Pg.67). Candide thinks that if he has lots of money then somehow his life will be so much better altogether, but Candide realizes that money is something that can go away just as fast as it came. Just because money can buy you a lot of things its not going to necessarily make your life a happier one. Money is something that can bring you joy but it isn’t going to bring your true happiness.

In the myth “The Golden Curse”, it has a lot to do with the story about Hannah, called “Money Cannot Buy Happiness”.

In the Declaration of Independence, it states that all men, being equal by nature, have the equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is interesting from Thomas Jefferson’s point of view that he says that we have the right to pursue happiness. When he said this, what did he mean in ways of understanding it and pursing this happiness? To live, as we have experienced, is itself a means to living well. The same applies to freedom. We cannot pursue happiness if we cannot freely carry out the choices we make. “If everything is determined for us, if the pattern of our life is imposed upon us, there would be no sense in talking about planning our lives or about adopting a plan for living well.” We need to stay and be

There are many people claim that there is not any relationship between money and happiness. However, I believe that there is a direct relationship between money and happiness. Research shows that being able to provide our basic needs and higher-level wants leads us to a happy life. The relationship between money and happiness is like the relationship between food and body. “The importance of money in human life is similar to the importance of food for the body. Just like you can’t live even for a few days without food, you can’t survive for long without money.”(Singh, 2015).Having access to our necessities, being able to participate in leisure activities, and being able to help our friends, are things which make us happy; and we need money for having them.So, for being happy in our life,
