Some people think that you need more money to be happy,
while others prefer to have more free time than money. Discuss both views and
give your own opinion.
Quest for happiness has always
intrigued humans as they explore various ways to attain this elusive goal.
There is a complete disagreement over the factors that lead to contentment
since everyone has quite disparate views: some suggest money holds the key to
being happy, while others suggest more leisure time is critical to this state
of mind.
Being
rich has always made people feel elite since it becomes easy for them to
possess all the imaginable luxuries and comforts: one can freely party and
socialize with friends, and nears and dears at will; go on vacations whenever
one feels like, get education in the best of institutions, etc. Apart from
that, being financially better off, are considered elite among friends, peers
and society, and such individuals always hog the limelight.
Besides
this, having sumptuous amount of income can also help people fulfill their philanthropic inclinations and
obligations; thus making them feel eternally happy. It is believed that, “Only
one’s having ample resources at their disposal can be of real help to others”.
Performing charity is a good way to attain eternity with the God, and charity
is only possible if one has enough to give away comfortably.
However,
how far can materialistic possessions go in ensuring happiness if the leisure
time is missing? Having some free moments is considered to be more critical
than anything else in this world. Getting some time to spend with oneself – in
solace, and nears and dears always fetches satisfying and pleasant experiences.
This not only helps in forming and strengthening relationships but also
experiencing life to the fullest, in all its manifestations.
Henceforth,
I feel although many may vouch for any single factor, financial standing, or
spare leisure time, both are important in their own virtue.
