dare 1,103 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 And we all know they can be altered with "chemicals" so it's not over my head. Like I said if money only buys you stuff and stuff doesn't make you happy please give away all the stuff you have. Then ill take it on board that you truely believe your opinion. I'd also be willing to bet that a study has done somewhere to prove that chemicals are triggered when someone has money. Although could probably argue that's due to environmental factors rather than natural reaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Agreed gone way off subject end of the day a 25 year old woman has lost her life and left behind family n friends and that's always a sad thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,394 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I belive money does buy happiness. Who ever said money can't buy happiness? Probably someone who was rich trying to make the poor feel better. The finding it insulting comment is abit like when David Cameron says we're all in this together. Got an aunt who's a multi millionaire, if she ever came around my house and saw how were living then went on to tell me life's really hard, I'd show her the door lol. Anyway it's not been said how she died yet and it's sad when anyone looses their life. Such a silly naive comment to make..............what is happy ?......material things ?...................money buys you nice things and puts you in a nice position........but without family/friendships/relationships you dont have happiness................. Its one of the oldest sayings in the book ... " The best things in life are free " Edited April 8, 2014 by gnasher16 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 28,517 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 f**k me mate," altered with chemicals", what "chuck him/ her the pills and theyll be fine".... It's weird you know an aunt of mine after losing her husband in a car crash ( my dads brother) was so depressed even electric shocks to her head didn't help, strange that... A life time of depression but I suppose if you'd chucked her a mill she would've been right as rain I'm sure we've all got a lot of shit we've seen, heard about and think we know, from my first hand experience of it, I would not take clinical depression lightly, it can f**k up families, plus it never seems to be complete gone.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 If money doesn't buy happiness why does everyone want it? I mean why don't everyone just live with the exact amount they need and not buy any stuff. Fact is buying stuff makes you feel good and if your feeling good your happy. Plus the way money can change your life and the life of people you love. Seeing family and friends doing well and being happy makes me happy. I'm not some git who's obsessed with money and not got morals. I just don't understand how people can say money doesn't buy happiness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,293 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) "Buying stuff" is a short term fix for some, it goes thats why people become shopaholics, money can take away some/alot of peoples troubles in life, but it does not buy happiness. If 'someone' thinks there is a price tag for happiness then I am sorry for them. As a youth I had more money than I knew what to do with at the time, unfortunately I had no one to look to for wisdom and the lot plus earnings soon went, mispent period of my life. Was a lot lot happier after it went, living on my wits. Just read something on The Daily Mail site about Peaches interest in the occult, sort of learned my lesson in reading what the newspapers write after the missing airplanes pilot etc, but all that shit occult and cults scares the shit out of me as a parent. Hopefully my own will give it a wide bearth as they been taught. Edited April 8, 2014 by GD Waz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would agree I'm not saying money is everything but I'm saying it can buy happiness. I'm not like some spineless obsessed with money weasel. I've just never understood why people would say money can't buy happiness and meet anyone who lives in a way to back up their opinion. Here's one though, health is your wealth you say but it could be said the other way round. Poor people die younger than the rich. Also how many people are there which have had the best treatment not based on their character but simply their wealth. Had it been you or me wed of been dead simply because of money.

Born Hunter 17,909 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Money is a tool to be used in the persuit of happiness, but essentially the most valuable things in life cannot be bought with cash. I believe that happiness and contentment in our life is all about balancing the success of each aspect of your life, Love/relationships, Health, Work & Play, not letting any one dominate the others. Money can make all that a little easier. It's a lubricant, not the fundamental coggs of the machine. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think what's meant is there's a huge difference between money making you happy and money curing cking so deporession... If we go back to the thread, I think she was maybe 10 or 11 when her mother died, she's now a 25 year old woman with 2 children of her own both very young, now whose to say that the feeling of loss resurfaced, perhaps she hasn't grieved or ever came to terms with the loss of her mother, now maybe she is suffering with post natal depression... and she is desperate, not unhappy... Money would not cure or ease that at all... It's all hypothetical to add weight to my argument, but like I say there is a huge difference between being unhappy and clinically depressed.
