Many people are commonly mistaken with the idea that being wealthy and having many properties would bring happiness to their lives. However, I think that they are misguided and I am sure that people can be happier with small amount of wealth. There are two reasons why I feel this way: one is that having many properties can cause worries to people, and the other is that wealth is not the only way to be happy.
To begin with, having lots of properties would bring worries and concerns to people’s minds rather than indefinite happiness and satisfaction. If you are materially wealthy and own properties, you will soon be worried that someone might be jealous and stand up against you. Also, being wealthy can’t bring unlimited satisfaction because real sense of contentment can be fulfilled when you are mentally rich. In my opinion, happiness doesn’t mean that you own many things but it rather means that you are mentally mature. For instance, there are many stories about a wealthy, but immature and greedy person who is happy at first but soon gets too worried that someone might steal his properties. And in most cases, he gets a bad end unless someone poor but mature comes to help him. The fact that this type of stories is wide-spread throughout the world times shows that being wealthy materialistically can’t bring indefinite pleasure.
Furthermore, I am certain that people can be happy even without any properties as long as they are optimistic. When people get in trouble, they usually tend to just sit and whine hoping that the situation would change dramatically even if they don’t do anything. However, I think that this can’t do anything help them to feel better and happier. One of my professors, for example, was having a problem because her husband had brain tumors and passed away. However, she made it to school every day and always tried to teach students in an enthusiastic way. She also tried her best to forget about it and go back to her normal life, and was able to feel better very soon. I think that this proves that being positive help you feel happier despite of loss of something you loved very much.
To sum up, being obsessive about properties makes you end up in a bad fortune, and being positive helps you feel better even without something you want to have. Thus, I think that people can be happier with small properties.
