Hạnh phúc mua bằng gì?

I used to think a lot about happiness. Happiness is not so great for me to be luxurious. So what is happiness? Can you buy happiness?

Looking from Buddhist thought, happiness is always about feeling, discovering new things from life; is the ambition to create new values; is doing what I cherish, dream. Happiness is when we find and cherish the simple pleasures and values ​​from life. No matter who you are, in any position, under any circumstances, you are entitled to choose to get one. happy life. Maybe when achieving the desired things such as wealth, advancement, stable life, ideal love… .that will feel happy.

So can you buy happiness and if you can buy it, what does it buy? For me materiality is only temporary, not because I despise material, but look at its nature, to see the deep goal that people are aiming for ... I turn inside to really feed nourish your soul.

"What can't be bought with money will buy with a lot of money." The words of ordinary people are still so praised by many people and considered as truth. There is one thing that everyone can easily recognize, that when you have money or a lot of money, you can easily buy hundreds of thousands or even millions of watches, but you can't buy one. moments of time.

“There is a very stingy person, always squeezing and not daring to eat. Having accumulated a lifetime, he saved a great fortune. Unbelievably one day, Death suddenly appeared demanding to take him away. At this point he realized that he had not been able to enjoy anything from the money.

He insisted:

- I divided one third of my property to You, just let me live for a year.

- Can not. (Death shakes his head.)

- So I give You half. He give me half a year, okay? (He continues to beg.)

- Can not. (Death still disagrees.)

He quickly said:

- So ... I will give you all the wealth. You give me a day, okay? - I can't. - The Death God just said, raised the scythe in his hand. The man desperately begs the Death for the last time: - Then He gave me a minute to write that will. This time, Death nodded. He wrote a shaky trembling line: Please keep in mind: "What is the money to do? How much money can't buy a day? ”

Only one day of money withdrawal can not be purchased, if only you can buy happiness. People were too confused about what they had bought with money.

Happiness is not to paint flavors, money is full of wallets, not to drive a car, at home. Happiness is when you cry; when you are tired, there are people to rely on; when each of your smallest aspirations, there are people who do; When you have a person who loves you, understands you, no matter how much he owns you want to bring the best to you.

Happiness is like a cool glass of water. The first time you drank it, you didn't feel anything, just saw it just like other things. But when you have tasted all bitter and sweet, taking a sip of cool water, you will feel, "Ah, it turns out this is a happy feeling!"

Happiness is when you make your child laugh, make your wife happy, make friends feel free to chat. Happiness is not a difficult thing, but it only really comes or speaks fancifully: it can only be bought with the heart. Money cannot buy happiness, it can only buy things that make you happy. For example, you can use money to go there and experience the difference.

We often tend to save money for physical purchases, especially high-value assets, not things that bring joy. For example, if you have 10 million dong, you have the choice to use that money to buy a phone or buy a pair of tickets to see your favorite band, which one would you choose?

Most of us will choose to pay for the phone. The reason given is that if you buy a phone today, you can use it for tomorrow, the other day and long after. Going to see the show will make you enjoy it right now but the joy doesn't last forever.

However, according to researchers at the University of San Francisco (USA), the opposite is true. People often believe that spending on material will make them happier than buying spiritual experiences because tangible material has a long-term use value. But that is not entirely accurate.

Take the case that you buy a new phone. In the first days of holding that phone, you must have been extremely happy. But just for a short time your initial joy will fade and end. In contrast, spiritual experiences like going to a concert often stay in your mind for a long time, and yes can make you enjoy every time you think about it or every time you tell someone. Experience can only take place for a short time, but the positive sound that it gives you will last forever. You have the freedom to explore.

People are generally a natural social structure in which we connect with each other by social relations. There is much evidence that having healthy relationships will help us live longer because people feel they are part of society. In other words, you always need someone around because loneliness will kill you.

Many social psychologists have said that "Happiness is more than when having enough material that is when we let go" or "sharing is happiness". That is absolutely right! So if you are sure that you want to go to a concert, buy a double ticket and invite someone else to come along (be it a relative, a friend or a colleague). Then your fun will be doubled.

When standing in a supreme place one might ask a silly question that makes the whole world flutter: "What is money to do?" And the best answer is available at the time of evolution: "How much money I can't buy one day either. "
