In recent years, income inequality has become a growing concern in many societies. Some argue that narrowing the gap between the wealthy and the poor would lead to a happier society. I disagree with this statement as money does not account for true happiness.
Money is a valuable assets in the modern society creating a sense of freedom in people. Although, one of the richest people may have the fanciest car and latest boat but has no one to experience it with. This could lead to isolation, depression and sense of lack.
Some of the poorest people are some of the happiest people and find pleasures in the daily life joys. For instance, the children in the poor areas enjoy playing soccer with their friends creating bonds. This contribute to sense of fellowship and satisfaction.
In addition, people who are on their health bed or diagnosed with a disease are not thinking about how much money they have in their bank. They realise money is just an asset.
In conclusion, money does not lead to true happiness in the long run. There are more factors to consider that contribute to a happier society.
