For or Against

[Mohamed]

Peace be upon you
Here is a new topic I hope you'll like.
One proposes an idea for debating, then everybody should think about it and try to write a short paragraph to say if they are for or against. Each paragraph should contain at least two or three arguments, each one followed by its justification. Finally, we must have at least five comments before moving to another debate.

Let's start with a simple one.
Here is the topic:

Do you think money can buy happiness?

Come on! Have your say

Nothing can buy happiness, even money, on the contrary, money makes us more miserable, 'cause we will be concerned on how to collect or invest it.... etc., then we lose our health , lose all the money that we spent all our lives to collect and become more miserable than we were ...... .... happiness is to live in peace and calm ..... this is proof that money can buy only misery

Thanks for your contributions

I think that there're many sides in happiness. Money really does buy the most apparent of them, but it deprives us of the deepest ones. When we possess lot of money we can get whatever we want, but all we do is thinking how to preserve it, planning to get more of it, and finally we may feel taken by it. It's true, with money we can fulfil our dreams and ambitions but, at the same time, it prevents us from tasting the simplest things in our life.
I think money possesses us just like we do. Thus, money cannot buy us the real happiness
