Not what if you could buy things to make you happy!. What if you could literally buy happiness!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Are you only giving one option - buying!? Or are people able to also experience it for free!? If people could ONLY buy happiness, this will bring the whole idea of inequality and how only certain people who can afford to can be happy!. What should the rest do - go kill themselves because they are not rich enough and will remain unhappy, depressed, etc!? If happiness could only be bought then suicide rates will be very high :)

It is another story if happiness could be either experienced for free or bought!.!.!.that can be considered already reality because some people experience happiness in buying something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, if i could literally buy happiness then i might still not be happy for happiness is not something that only comes from the things around us but from within!. just like when you acquire something you really like, it makes you happy but the feeling of happiness doesn't come from that thing you acquired but deep down, within yourself!. this only shows that even with all the money in the world we can only rely to ourself, be it happiness, love, contentment, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
