金钱不能带来快乐 Money Brings No Happiness

Last Friday, I attended an EPC class and we talked
about whether money can buy happiness. As a human, we all have body, emotion
and spirit. Happiness is kind of emotion or spirit for our life and the most
precious thing to us. Without it, a man will feel that his misery fate has
taken charge of him and the world is utterly dark and dreadful. The teacher
asked us some questions about happy at first. We answered differently. My
partner and I answered that happiness is a fate that we are glad to do many
things and have confidence to do them well.

But how to be happy? Can money buy happiness?
Obviously it can’t. In the class, we saw a sentence “Happiness is a state without
any desires”. We discussed hearty about it and some of us agreed to it. They
held that desires are power that can push us to keep working hard, so that we
can have a better life, and then be happy. However，others did not think like that. They argued that
desires come from comparison. When we do better than others and gain more than
others, we just have a sense of satisfaction instead of happiness. Then,
teacher asked us that if we have a lot of money, what we can do to gain
happiness. Some students thought that giving money to poor people will make
them happy. In the others’ opinions, using money to play together with friends
and families will make them happy. In short, giving and sharing will bring
happiness to us. Then, teacher showed us series of data of the happy career.
These data show that barber, the happiest job, accounts for the largest
proportion However, designer is the unhappiest one. The teacher said that human
is a kind of social animal, so people will be happier to stay and talk with
others especially in low pressure. In a word, helping others and communicating
with others will make us happy.

In my opinion, Being happy is easy, because we have no
reasons to be unhappy. When we meet some troubles in lives, we just try our
best to overcome them without any hesitation. When I am sad, I would have a comfortable
sleep. After a good sleep, I will feel much better. So I think being happy is
easy for me.
