SEARCH YOUR ESSAY

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.
