Money Or Honey

in my opinion, yes, money cannot buy happiness, but...we cannot live our life without money. can you imagine, an old woman, 60 years old, still working as secretary in a small travel agent, to feed her husband and 2 daughters, 20 and 21 years old, who still go to university. and her husband, never work since they got married. She bought a house with her younger sister's money, and she paid her back month after month. Once, this husband, was willing to go to Japan, he said he will work in Japan, his friend from the same village told him to come. his wife gave money for him to go to Japan. He spent 3 months in Japan, only travelling, but not working. He got back home pennyless. Then, his priest at church, asked him to go to Theology University, to become a priest. I think his wife gave money to him study Theology to become priest. And open a small church at their house, with only 2 small families as congregation. Every sunday, she must cook some food for that small congregation have lunch after sunday service. last year, 3 of her younger sister, collect some money to buy a car for her. they asked her husband to find a car, but not tell him that this car is for her. And do you know what happened? He and his friend sold a polished broken car to her younger sisters, with a false legal papers. And when she found out that this car was for her, she got angry with her husband and asked her husband and his friend to return the money. But her husband's friend never return the money. Well......Who still say money cannot buy happiness? Maybe those kind of words is right for the rich family. But for poor family... money brings better life and better condition.

i like them both, but if i really have a terrible experience from a relationship, i would opt to have money when there is no honey available. what the purpose of money? even i may be poor with out a lover i would still use the money to help me forget though not completely it helps me to divert my attention to other things and not to focus to things that worry me. in you example some have honey and yet have problem if one have no patience and the other partner is not responsible and lazy so the relationship is under risk of being separation as would happen. each partner should help each other and lessen the burden so the other should not depend alone on the other partner but need to cooperate. so that the time marital problem arises, as having honey is not enough at all to say one is happy for having a family but deep inside have so many regrets. so having honey and money if combine equals to happiness.

I for one choose money as it even makes misery a bit easier. ive been in both positions and found you are right about making it a happier life with money. as love will sometimes ween out on you without money. you never hear a rich person say oh i wish i was poor im so miserable with all this money but you do hear poor people saying things would be so much easier with it. even misery.

you absolutely have a point there. nowadays, money is just very important.how can someone be happy if he or she can't even eat 3x a day and buy all their basic needs. though for me, love is still the most important thing in the world. it literally makes the world go round. but in order for me to be with my boyfriend always is to have a lot of money so we can just be together and that he doesn't have to be away from me.

Well, hey, I would take either! They both make life more enjoyable, but i I had enough to take care of basic needs I would choose honey any day. They both are not stable, subject to change at any moment.. so, I try to be grateful for every moment I've got with both. Of course, if you are poor you would know your honey chose you for reasons besides your bank account. This sounds like a generalization, but think about every day a person would go through if they suspected their love of not really being with them for love.

Yeah, I agree. I think money CAN really buy happiness(not everytime tho) and it can also buy us "troubles", "risks" and other stuff. Money is a good thing as long as you don't make it control your whole life. Money can surely buy happiness but it is not EVERYTHING. In my opinion, those who says that "money CAN'T buy happiness" are sort of hypocrites, it's impossible for a person not to be filled with joy because of money even ONCE in his lifetime. Well, that's just an opinion, hope I didn't offend anyone. :p

Well, when you really look at the whole spectrum of things, it is depending on what you do with them. Yes, having money for the most part is important and will usually help decide how you can live, and where you want to live, but money can also bring a lot of heartache and sadness as well. For me, it is about being Happy being where you are at, and making the most out of what you got. Even if it is not always the best job, or home Thank God for what you have, and work towards something better.

In my own experience, as being a wife for 4 years. money is really a big deal with regards to the needs of the family we have. we both started as bf and gf wen we where in college so definitely we do not have money. Until the time that our baby arrived unexpectedly so we really had a hard time looking for money but he managed to get me to the hospital and as well as the baby. as of now, we are both working together to earn money and support the needs of the family. so my stand here is, money is not the primary source to have a family particularly a honey. A true honey will stay and provide the needs of your family with the help of you. with the both of you working together and helping each other. money will not be hard at all as long as you have a stable work.

Well i believe that it should be balanced. In order for you to be happy you need to have your basic needs fulfilled, if you end up having none..then it would be hard to have a happy and contented state of mind. Like for me, i have three kids and we need to work to have money and if that basic needs is fulfilled, we then can enjoy and be happy..but if other wise we lack in that, and end up struggling with money for school, food.. that causes problem and causes us to be unhappy as well....so it should be balanced.

it is that we live in material world however money sometimes can do buy honey we need some money to gather with friends i need money to give it to the poor people so they can free from their hunger
