BOUGHT HAPPINESS


"Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable." -Clare Boothe Luce

      I think this quotation by Clare Boothe Luce means that you can't buy happiness itself but you can buy things that make you happy. In our modern world, people often forget that not everything is about money and grandeur like how big your house is or how expensive your car is. What people need to remember is that being happy is something that cannot be bought or compared to how much you make each year. This reveals the difference between the two sides of happiness, bought happiness and priceless happiness.

PRICELESS HAPPINESS

"The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good." -Bertrand Russell

In my opinion, this quotation by Bertrand Russell means that happiness is key to being successful. In an ideal world we would all have enough money to not worry, friends and family to support us and we would all be happy with who we are and what we have. However since an ideal world isn't reality, being “good” is having something close to this, which I think is what Bertrand Russell expressing. Personally I think this quote reflects on the “Priceless Happiness” and how being “good” is not enough.
