Million Dollar Baby

Hypothesis 1:
Money can buy you happiness.

More than just a statement. Its a simple truth that one could not deny.

.  .   .
Hypothesis 2:
Money can't buy happiness.

If you say No, people might label you as materialistic.
If you say Yes, people might as well think you are being unrealistic.

But does meeting the standards of perception actually feed you?

.  .  .

Working in a monetary world, I was reminded the significance of money for each passing day. My eyes probably already look like a dollar sign.

Mari mulakan bicara boring.


Method: Maslow Theory


Thanks to Maslow theology, now we are not that clueless of why we need certain things at certain stage. Our mind tend to have this urge to achieve more once we have fulfill our bottom needs. The greatest achievement for a man of course is, realizing a dream. Logic enough for our brain to digest, no?

.  .  .

Now exactly how our Maslow is related to our question?

Except for the air that we breathe for free, I am sure other things come with a price. Yes people, no money no talk. You have a stomach to feed and a body to hydrate.

Those printed paper generate living. Clearly enough, the volume will determine your lifestyle. Which is pretty skeptical, because there are certain people choose to not spend and splurge despite having million dollars inside the vault. Happily wearing his jamban flip-flop, Pagoda shirt and a Bermuda.

Takde hal lah, apa kisah.

What is it that money couldn't buy? A heart.
What is it that money could buy? A life and a dream. 

I've always known how greedy I am, so I'd like to have both please thank you. But frankly, the definition of wealth varies. In my dictionary it is synonyms with the word choices. Greater volume will give you greater purchasing power. In other words, you can choose either to have Tofu or Abalone for you dinner.

.  .  .

Conclusion?

Money does not genuinely able to buy happiness, but it can create a life.
