It is often said that it is better to spend on a thing that will last long time such as jewelry than a short-term pleasures such as the vacation. Some people might disagree that they can have valuable experience through going to the vacation. At first glance, this opinion seems to be somewhat appealing. However, I agree that spending on a thing that last for a long term is more desirable than pursuing short-term pleasures such as vacation and travel because one can feel happiness with things that last long for a long run and it is more practical. To begin with, spending on things such as jewelry brings long-term pleasure. As one might expect, most people want to own valuable things such as jewelry or luxury clothes. Also, people who have such things feel satisfaction for a long time. To demonstrate, according to the Times, one of the most popular weekly magazines in Korea, a study showed that women who went shopping for valuable things such as jewelry or clothes decreased their stress level, when compared to pursuing short-term pleasures such as going out for drinks or fancy dinner. This implies that investing in things that will last for a long run is significant role in relieving stress. In addition, buying things that will last for a long-term is practical. Of course, performing short-term activity brings gratification for a while. However, acting on impulse leaves one feeling with emptiness afterwards. For instance, my parents gave both me and my brother five hundred dollars each to spend on what we wanted. I spent it on buying a pair of diamond earring, buy my brother went on a cruiser. Indeed, my brother could have enjoyable time during travel, but that was the end of it. On the other hand, at a desperate time of need, I was able to sell back earring and get a decent amount in return. I saw for my self that spending on things that will last for a long time is more useful and practical. In short, I firmly believe that it is preferable to spend on items that will last long than short time pleasure. This is because I can have such things for a long time with security and happiness and it is more practical and useful. Accordingly, it is noted that pursuing long-term pleasure is better than doing short-term pleasure activities. |
