Happiness
After talking about negative emotions, I think it is time to talk about happiness. Most people do not ask themselves why they or happy or really understand what happiness is. Happiness is a state of emotion that can be experienced in many different ways. In your happiest moments, there is little internal chatter or thoughts going on in your mind. You feel at peace with yourself and the world. When one is a child, it is very easy to be happy and not worry about what is going to happen tomorrow. After growing up being happy becomes harder because of the knowledge you gain throughout your life and fears one starts to develop.
Happiness is not something that one feels at all times. Of course there will be things that bring people down, but remaining positive can help to maintain the happiness you once found. There is a very old question that to many the answer may seem to be yes, does money buy happiness? In my opinion, I do not think that it does. One could have all the money they ever dreamed of but still feel like something is missing. I think that love can be the source of happiness if you allow it to open your heart.

I agree money does not buy you happiness. Some people may think that money can buy them anything they want. However, there are somethings that simply cannot be bought. Some of these things would be happiness and true love.
ReplyDeleteHey Alyssa! I really enjoyed reading this post. I don't think money can buy happiness, either. I think that happieness is a greater something that money can never buy.
