Can you "Buy" True Happiness?

NatewlieCan 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).

What is it with you? Usually you're vampish and pick your spots, but now you're acting like a woman.And yes money can buy boners, thus why Viagra is a mint to anyone who has em.
Money buys elements of happiness, but not the I am happy for being alive kind.
Try surviving being ejected from heavy machinery in your grunt days, you'll know what happiness is then.

define 'true happiness'

An empirical state of mind, a brief state of being in which someone feels mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically complete.Some would say it's like Nirvana, the state of being, not group.That was my definition of it, not Myriam-Websters.

Wow. No wonder. Thanks for the schooling, that wouldn't have been good then to put a You-Tube video of hot women, then ask her to help me critique their bustline!
She was so dominating, I just assumed she had a penis.I can buy beer, and that makes for contentment.

Money can't buy everything ;D

And a good amount of it can leave people with relatively little worries.
Without any financial problems, other problems become easier to deal with.
If a family member died and you were broke, you'd be in a worse state of stress than if you had money. Probably because if you were broke, you already had an issue to deal with without a death.

happiness is aparently a hard to describe word/ It could be ownage, satisfaction of several things, enjoyment of something, etc.

You cannot "buy" happiness in its true essence because it conditions your sensuality of happiness. In turn it creates short periods of nostalgia and other forms of "high" moments then leave you completely useless and dumbfounded for what you bought the material for in the first place. The short term goals in achieving this would make you want more.On the other hand happiness is what you choose to make of life. It is a desperate disposition to counteract a manic depressive world around your entity. Happiness is suppose to be long term, but day to day drama obstructs this from any body who wants an ideal happy life.

literally we don't but technically, we can.
my gadgets are one of the many things that brings me happiness.

As discussed a few pages earlier what you're describing is satisfaction or fulfillment.

According to whom?I'd like to take a similar stance on the 'happiness is different from person to person', but also with fulfillment and satisfaction.If gadgets and such are his only aspirations in life and make him happy, who are we to judge what makes him happy?

Replying to #55

But is that true happiness?
Im pretty sure a choice between his childrens health or his gadgets, and they would be gone.

Replying to #56

But if his children were sick, wouldn't money increase the chances of making them healthy, and thus "buying" him happiness?

Replying to #57

since spending money for his children sake lower the ability of him buying any new gadget, i dont see how that make him happy unless his happiness have shifted from gadget toward his children.Money can buy happiness period, those who said otherwise is just trying to make them self feel better for being poor or their are rubbing their wealth on your face.my happiness is consider to have couple of billions and live like a king everyday (with a team of personal maid in a huge castle like mansion), of course the chance of that ever happening to me fall between flying pigs and hell freeze over.

You can't buy hapiness,
but you can buy things that could make you happy for a while...

Not really, not in the UK anyway.

You are either poor, never been happy or both.
Ive had lots of money and also been homeless, I know both sides and money is not the be all and end all.
