Money can not buy happiness

   In technology era, the number of human demands increases significantly day by day to keep pace with the development of modern life. Some people believe that money is the most important element in having a happy and luxury life while the others claim that happiness comes from other things which don't cost any money or even cannot be bought by money. I incam totally conved by the latter view for following reasons.
   It is believed that only when having a lot of money can people enjoy all good and marvellous things in this world such as high quality in living standard, education, healthcare, entertainment and tourism. For example, the best university in the world such as Harvard, Oxford, Yale,... always require the tuition fee much higher than other normal university, leading to the fact that money is the first condition to guarantee the best quality in our life nowadays. However, is it true in any circumstances? As there goes a saying "Money cannot buy happiness", love is a stark example when the true feeling and passion in love cannot be affected by the power of money. The fact has shown that almost the marriges based on economics benefit end in disaster because they donot have the real passion and sympathy with their partners. Moreover, not only does money not exist in true love but it also has no power in the last days of people's life. To illustrate, there are many life-threatening diseases which even cannot be cured even with a huge of money, leading to the fact that money cannot buy health. While a human life is so short for enjoying and living in love and passion with precious things, spending whole life working hard to earn and save money may increase the senescene speed of people and limit people's memorable time with family and friends.
  Another rationale advocating for the former opinion is that the rich have no worry about any problems in life thanks to money while the poor have to undergo a lot of pressure caused by economics burdens. Nowhere can people gain more freedom in mind than in richness. To specify, because of being bornt in a rich family, children can enjoy happiness at their young age with the best chances to improve their talents. Nevertheless, reality has shown the oposite consequence when rich people become lazier and more positive in thinking than poor ones, resulting from having no effort to gain something in life which they can easily get by their parent's money. By contrast, in our life, that many cripped or poor people showed their power and succeed by a great effort becomes brightest lessions for all the young. Besides, it is undeniable that money is the two-edged-knife which can create a big gap between the rich and the poor and ruin human relationships. Importantlly, only by the greedy of gaint can good person turn into cold-hearted one, resulting in the fact that money separates its owner from the other people, which was a message from famous Mexico film " The rich also cry".
