Can you "Buy" True Happiness?

an honest smille from someone that you love can make you trully happy

I cannot buy true happiness, but i can use money to help me gain my true happiness.
Even without money, true happiness can be achieved.Money is only a stepping stone on true happiness, but in every way, you can jump ahead without stepping on that stone.I would admit that money is, nowadays, needed to achieve happiness. But when i was studying ethnic peoples, money is not needed to achieve happiness.For those who don't want to study ethnic peoples, just watch The gods must be crazy

Re: Can you \"Buy\" True Happiness?

H'Okay... could someone tell me what in this hell is "True Happiness"?

Exactly. Everyone can define it in their own terms.
Money increases the odds of finding it for almost everyone.

Pls, read about ethnic people. And I apologize for suggesting you to watch a movie, I should have though that letting people watch too many movies lessen brain cells like yours. I'm really sorry!

darkrequiem · #23Troll?

Nice sig, but why are you asking if you're a troll? But never mind, it must be a rhetorical question and doesn't need a real answer, right?

tehuber1337Money is a means to an end but shouldn't be mistaken for the end itself.And about poor people being unhappier than people with money, that's not true. I remember hearing about studies that found that one's average "happiness" level might fluctuate up and down, but always returns to a baseline. To attribute having more or less happiness as a result of money is therefore a logical fallacy of regression. The negativity bias is also relevant here.

Very true, a homeless man is always happier when he has money, then he can buy drugs, then afterwards he goes through withdrawals.

Your ability to differentiate the two words 'ethnic' and 'noncivilized' is hilarious. But really, I would say that a lot of noncivilized tribes or whatever, don't really have any monetary system in place. Money does not exist to them. What they have instead is either help eachother to gain supplies/food, or the trade system.

No, just wrong word used.

Yes, it was foolish to assume I watched a movie when chances are I did not. But you knew that.
Ehehehe, you are genius itself.

It varies person-to-person. A shallow, ignorant person could easily buy happiness as they don't know any better. A thoughtful, philosophical person will not be so easily satisfied which is why deep thinkers seem to have an indifference to life.

I don't think it's that simple.

Nothing psychological is that simple. It's just an easy way of stating a theory.
And don't fuck with Spess Mehrens.

True, true.
And my undead army of Necrons robots will prevail.....after hundreds of millions of years being wasted.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who recognizes the Mehrens... :D

this is how i see it: money IS important for achieving true happiness. it doesnt matter the amount of money that says how much happiness you have. but yes, you do need money. in the present, people depend too much on money to do things. any event, trasaction, you want to do, needs money. if you want a girlfrien/boybfriend, you need money. you want a wife, you need money, family, you need money. want a house. need money. If you can ve happy by just the fact of existing, then you need money to be happy

H'Okay... could someone tell me what in this hell is "True Happiness"?

True happiness is a state of being where you feel you're at your game or as the kids say it, you're in the zone. Often it involves fulfillment of your life goal or ambition..... err wait, now that sounds like a SIMs 2 reference right there, but that's basically it. Another way of looking at it is achieving your "mission" in life, or the reason why you were put in this world. It isn't a fate or a destiny, if that's what you're thinking. It's finding & realizing who you are & what makes you happy.Some examples of this is for example, is becoming a sports superstar (if that's your life long ambition). Sure that doesn't involve you spending too much money, except for getting good education, keeping fit & at your prime. Achieving this ambition definitely takes into account your drive, your discipline & raw talent if you have it, or developing it by practice & diligence.Another good example of finding true happiness is getting to know your roots, or heritage. I know most people in the west would care less for where they came from (not simply implying whose womb they came from), but for some knowing that unfamiliar part of who you are is in itself a fulfillment of knowing one's self.

ah I see. my brother payed to be a doctor which was his goal in life and now HE is truly happy.

Who knows... And no, he didn't pay to be a Doctor, he payed for his studies & worked hard to be a doctor.

Of course you can. Let's be practical people.

I don't think money can buy one happiness.That said, in my case enough of it can buy me a frigging amazing fake.

Can money buy you a boner? I doubt that'd be fake, considering that money gives me the female equivalent, (I like to call this a wettie).
