There are many people who loves to have a long life in this world.But when you look at vthe people from the elder home everyday or if you have some relatives whose getting really old.They have no children ,no money and no health.If you live a life like this ,will you still want to live longer life.If yes,how can you still be happy if you have such an experience.I think that to live happily in such a situation is to develop hope in the future and purpose of life.Helping the next generation will always be a good idea to keep on living happy.Of course there may still be some problem.Maybe you can share with us about your opinion.

Friends remind me that I should thank God that He let me live this long with so many other people dying young. I don't have any money or relationship so I am unhappy there. But compared to people around me, my health is good. And I am happy because I can help other people and I am getting stories published. So there are things that can still make one happy.

I believe that if a person is generally optimistic, then they will be able to find a way to be happy regardless of the situations that are handed to them. Yes, as a person grows older they see their friends and family members leave this world and then they have to build friendships with new people. The lack of money is something that is difficult to deal with, but again it isn't something that can't be overcome. This life is an entire journey of making the best out of what we are given.

I don't think so, I know happiness is subjective but usually people have a general idea on happiness. A long and painful life would be quite sad when compared to a moderate life span but with happiness, fulfillment, and achievement.

I will not be happy if I have a long life but without money or health. It will just make my life to be suffering. I can't enjoy my life. Long life means nothing if there is no quality of your life. I love China

If you don't have money,health the how can you be still happier? When some one cares for you in those situations definitely you will be happier. But it is always difficult to find people who care for you.I don't understand ho can you live for so long without good health.

I think that we can survive a long life without money. I mean not completely, ofcourse we need money to eat food, buy clothes and such essential things but we shouldn't have a greed of money. Even if we have a little amount of money but have many friends, our family with us and in a good state of health, then surely we can be happy throughout our lifetime. But yea, if we don't have even a single penny or no relatives or friends, then it is obvious that you won't be healthy and so you won't be happy as well. But yes as you said, still without our family, we can stay happy by developing hope. We should have faith in God and believe in ourselves that "yes even though I don't have my family and no money, I'll do plenty of hard work and gain money but no greed and achieve success." Not only we'll achieve success but we'll also befriend many people and so we'll have everything in life.

I've read somewhere that God takes away your loneliness by putting people in your life who need your help. I believe that when you give yourself to other people, you feel a great sense of peace and joy. When you live your life that way, even when you have no money or family, you still get to feel fulfilled and content. However, I cannot deny the fact that we need family and friends in our lives to make us happy.

Money and health are two breaths of a human being and if these two are missing then it is very very difficult to live in this world and also cannot be happy. But - for such cases a moral support is very much necessary which no one will give as these days every one has become selfish and egoistic. That true love if extended either by family members or friends will surely make an improvement and creates a path for happiness. Despite of all these things prayer to the almighty is very much necessary

Hi there wildlittlefan. If you ask me, I think i can live without health nor money because what's important for me is love. If I am full of love, love for others and love from others, then maybe I would still want to live because I will be living happy. To love is not being selfish but being happy for another. I think I would still enjoy life with other people. It's really pleasurable to feel love and to love.

No I don't want to live long life without health. I don't want to be depended for my daily needs on some other. Its very painful. And I don't want that pain.

i think that i can be happy without money. as the saying goes, money can't buy happiness. me, personally, i'm happy when i get to spend time with my friends. even if we're just hanging out at some house or just window shopping, we're still happy because we enjoy the company of each other. as for health, i think that's a little tricky. well, i guess we can look at it this way, some people who are seriously sick makes the most of their lives because they don't have much time left. (well, if their bodies can still do it). and if they can't do things that would require them to leave their beds, at least they get to be surrounded by family and friends, right?

If I have that kind of life i would rather not live any longer. He he he. Well, that is hard to decide. Without children, how can I be happy. Without money that's not really a problem because I can work but if I am not healthy then it's not at all a happy life and I'd rather die.

I can still be happy if I have my friend, family and loved one with me. Money and health is important but there still things that can make a man happy. But you give a situation where everything was taken away from me. I cannot be happy like that. Maybe God will make a way to make me happy. There will be happiness as long as we stay alive and continue the adventure of life.
