The question of 'money can't buy happiness or can it' is one that has two perspective to it based on experience on how we have handled money as human beings and what we have faced when we were broke and could not afford some certain things. There is a Proverbs that says "money is the root cause of all evil" this is true to some extent because there is the kind of money a person would have and they would purchase or engage in activities that they shouldn't have had an encounter with. For instance, the popular ritual people participate in because they are tired of poverty to have more money than their peers and to live a good life but the negative sides to these ritual performance is that when you take from the devil you have to give something in return, this good be shortage of life, sacrificing of humans and so.
The Case for “Money Can’t Buy Happiness”, is a perspective of without money people can live their life without stress, all that is required is to be happy, fulfilled and contented with what they have. True happiness is not brought about by money but it's grows from true relationships, families, friendship, people ,love etc this can bring about purpose and meaning in a person's life steering from deep feelings that money cannot purchase.
Without money people can survive, I have experienced being broke for quite a number of times where I was not able to afford some certain things but I came to realize that when I have eaten and I am satisfied with what I ate every other thing is a counterfeit at that moment because that is the primary source that would help me to get what I need. The issue with having no money is that we adapt to our situations especially Nigerians who are so resilient that they do not allow anything to weigh them down.
Again, based on a movie I watched, the Love of money has made people to sacrifice their precious time all for chasing money. In the movie, there was this family that was contented with all they had while they were poor but once the man started associating with some certain friends and making good money, the love and unity within the family subsided. Before, the man would play with his kids, do their assignments and also help his wife in the kitchen, but when he got busy things change to the extent that he no longer had time for the family and even came back late from work.
However ,The Case for “Money Can Buy Happiness” is very relatable because when you have good money in your hands you are secured in a way. What I mean by this is that money offers freedom and security, take for instance you have health issues at a particular time, all you need to do is get a good hospital that would take care of your well-being and you would get better in no time but with no money you would have to endure and combat the sickness which could be dangerous.
Also, money can do every physical activity you want to do as a human being as long as you are ready to pay for the time and people services. For instance, you can use money to get help for house chores, go on vacations, beauty nice houses, take for class ticket, travel, learning, and so many other things.
