Does obtaining material things make us happy?
Does obtaining material things makes us happy?
Sometimes we want to buy things to treat ourselves after working hard, believing that they may
compensate for cancel out the stresses we have
had experienced through working and make us totally refreshed and happy.
We might feel happy in the moment we
get got the thing,
but normally that feeling does not last long.
A month later
, we are likely to even forget the thing
you we have got, and we may lose the appreciation for it. A lot of us probably end up with random rubbish
, which leads us to feel rather negative about
the clutter we have created.
So
from what I have learned in my life, my answer to the question, "does obtaining material things makes us happy?"
, is
, "not usually".
I have been trying to buy less and invest more
for in my education, and I'm feeling better.
