Reflective Essay


“My well being depends on me getting all that I desire.” “Life is limited. There isn’t enough for everyone.” We have been told that the abundance of money conduces to success and happiness, but does it? Does our life depend on it?  Or we are driven by greed? One thing that we should know is that money will not necessarily lead to happiness, success and a good reputation after all.

Every person has always been in the search of happiness, who would not love to find it? Happiness could be relative from one person to another, put in one point people have related money with happiness, as a matter of fact, money can be involved in this cases, and this will drive a person to be addicted and having an excessive desire of money far more than is needed or deserved, this would probably conduce a person to be greedy.

In our daily life we encounter people who are always angry, focused only to find the perfect life and success, forgetting the mayor basics of life and little details which nature and life grant for free. It is not certain that to become a successful person, the presence of excessive money must be necessarily. I think successfulness comes from the knowledge and education; it is what directs us to open our minds and enter to the beautiful world of knowledge, as Albert Einstein said.

It is thought that when we have money we could have power upon other persons, yet this would not guarantee that they would receive a high value among these people, respect and appreciation .However I consider that the abundance of wealth and power will never give much value to a person as knowledge and wisdom give.  Another thing that money will not grant is our principles of moral. That is why this glory, wealth and power will not tag a person with a good reputation when the principles of moral and decorum it is in a shortage.

It is true that money is important for our bare necessities but, would a large amount beside us be necessarily in the last moments of our life? Does it would bring good memories and fill our soul with happiness? Of course not, if we reflect upon this, we will see that the wonderful things that brings happiness comes for free and conceive within ourselves, that success comes with knowledge and a good reputation it is related with the presence of  morals. That is why the greed maybe satisfies the materialistic whims but never would be related with happiness, success and good reputation after all.
