Can Wealth Bring Happiness?
财富能够带来幸福吗?
Wealth and happiness always have countless ties. On the one hand, wealth can satisfy our material desires and therefore sometimes meet our spiritual needs. On the other hand, wealth can also bury our heads in thesand and bring misfortune to us at times. It’s really hard to answer the age-old question “Can wealth bring happiness?”
财富和幸福有着不解之缘
In my point of view, I don’t agree that wealth can bring happiness. I conceive of the two as not absolutely related. Happiness is not something that can be measured by wealth, but by the state of mind. For one thing, we all know that the world’s wealth has soared during the twentieth century, and economists expect it to continue rising in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans are happier than our ancestors? I’m afraid the answer must be “no” or “it depends”.
我认为财富无法带来幸福
Whether we are happy or not is determined by our state of mind. Wealth can buy us some material things butcannot free us from sadness or worries. For another, wealth can not bring happiness, neither can poverty. It’s a mistake to assume that wealth will affect everyone in the same way. Being rich or poor, people make choices about how they treat wealth, and those choices can boost happiness or undermine happiness.
不管我们是幸福还是不幸福,这都是由人们的心境来决定的
All in all, the amount of wealth doesn’t represent the degree of happiness. Happiness can’t be weighed by wealth. It has no absolute relation to wealth, but as a kind of feeling in our hearts it only rests withour own mind.
总之,财富不能够代表你幸福的指数
