It is debated over the fact on whether people will be happier by having fewer possessions. Some people argue that with lots of possessions, people are happier. However, I contradict this opinion. There are several resons as follows
To begin with, The possessions could not guarantee more happiness certainly. On the contrary, The fewer possessions more influence positively on happiness. We could know about this fact as seeing figures in one research. In that research, For example, The rates of happiness on research show us influence of possessions on happiness. In the development country like Malaysia which suffers from poverty . People are much happier although they are extremely poor, But, In the USA which is one of the richest country in the world. Rates of happiness show much low score compared with Malaysia. Figure of those is ditinguished from 4-5times. This outcome of research means it is evident that fewer possessions could make people happy
On top of that, The more possessions cause lots of greeds which retard happiness of people. In other words, People get to fight with each other to take away possessions of others because of greeds.
Take a exmaple of my experience. when I was young, I did poker with just curiosity, So I thought to bet just 10 dollars which are my maximum deadline. And then, I won the game and got the greed of possessions more and more as well as money. Later, I got losing control of my mind and money. Finally, I lost of all of my money and owed 20 dollars of friend. In this experience I obtained the great lesson that more possessions make people greedy decreasing happiness. More possessions could be able to be transformed with obessions. Obessisons of possesions is not helpful to be happy.
In conclusion, Possessions could let people be happy of course. However, I firmly believe, for the reasons mentioned above, The fewer possions could make people happier
