I Believe



Happiness, a feeling, that makes us feel joy inside us. A feeling that makes us feel we can do anything in the world, but… there are many ways to retrieve happiness. Many people say that money can’t buy happiness, well I say “Why not”. If you buy something that makes you smile, for example a comedy movie, and you laugh at the movie that brings you happiness.
An old man and his wife are losing their dear son. He is in the hospital. He suffered from cancer, but the parents payed a lot of money to the hospital to cure their son. So in the end the child wakes up and the family is able to see their son again, through the great workmanship of the doctors, but this all had to be payed for. So in the end the mother and father of the child were so happy. The fine facilities and technology used to cure their beloved son were all through money. What brought this family back together, to let their son see the light of day again, to let him live, and lead an extraordinary life, was afforded it. These people had the money to cure their son of a disastrous disease, thus giving money to the hospital, to making them try their hardest into fixing their son, resulting into happiness for the family, as their son was finally cured.
On the Malaysian holiday, Hari Raya, my dad, my brothers, my uncles, and I, go to the mosque to pray. After praying, when walking to our car we see beggars who are begging for food, some of these beggars have no legs, no family; some are even children, who are alone. So my father, when he sees this he will give money to them and after that, the beggars will buy themselves food, in order to make them happy.
When we were in Penang, we were staying in a great hotel, with a pool and a water slide. So we went out to eat Nasi Malayu which just means Malay food, this restaurant which has Nasi Melayu is not a five star restaurant with air condition or fine marble tables. So we eat the delicious food, and my dad spots a poor person who has no money or home, who is probably starving standing outside the restaurant begging for some food. So my dad, being as kind as he is, buys that poor old man food, and not standard food, my dad buys him a mountain full of rice and put on gravy like that mountain of rice is having an avalanche. That beggar is so grateful to my dad, and is happy that my dad had bought the food for him.
Money can by happiness to a certain extent. Sometimes money can be a little pain but it still can by you happiness, but will be a pain if you abuse using the money buying things that make you happy but are illegal. So finally I believe that money can buy happiness.
To a certain extent!!
