The best things in life do not cost money

All individuals see life with their own perception. Their feelings about life and happiness vary. Some might argue that every possible happiness in this world does cost some money. I have a contrasting viewpoint on this one. In my opinion, money does not buy everything especially the best things in life.

First and foremost, money cannot buy love and relationships. Our parents are a classic example. Their unconditional love does not cost us any price. Some people might also argue that money can buy strong social relationships. However, a new relationship does not necessarily mean you have got love or respect. They will have to be won with our efforts. Money can never buy these efforts. I know a very wealthy man who married a charming girl. For several days, he kept believing that he has a very loving wife. Seems she was more interested in his money. Just one year of marriage and she started demanding money. She also got involved in an extra-marital affair. The two eventually got divorced and the wife demanded a hefty alimony. The man's money could not help him save his relationship.

Second, we dont need money to enjoy the nature around us. The world around us just needs viewers to adore its beauty. Whether it be the wonderful sight of a group of cows grazing in the field or water falling off from the height of a 100 feet, neither of these demands any money. And the kind of ecstasy and relaxation these bring to our mind is simply amazing.

Third, money can never equal the joy one gets by giving or sharing. The spark on the face of a roadside beggar after we give him half of our lunchbox, the bond which two sisters feel after sharing their rooms and dresses for years - all these can never be bought by money. To me, all these feelings are more joyous as compared to buying a dress for myself.

To sum up, best things in life are still untouched by money. In my opinion, Love, nature and the joy of giving are the best elements of happiness and are absolutely free to anyone who really want to enjoy life.

Hi sweetu,

I can give you one tip ... you need to write 400+ word ... volume matters. You need to enrich paragraph 3 and 4.

Good Luck!
