Ethos,Pathos, and Logos if money doesn’t buy you happiness
Ethos: As responsible and moral individuals, we must recognize that true happiness cannot be found in material wealth alone. Many respected philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual leaders have argued for the importance of virtues such as love, compassion, and personal growth in achieving happiness, rather than the pursuit of money.
Pathos: Think of the times when you were the happiest in your life. Was it because of the amount of money you had, or was it the love, support, and connection you shared with your friends and family? Money may bring temporary pleasure, but it cannot replace the warmth and joy that comes from deep relationships and shared experiences.
Logos: Several studies have found that there is a correlation between money and happiness only up to a certain point. A study by Princeton University researchers in 2010 found that emotional well-being and life satisfaction increase with income up to around $75,000 per year, after which there is no significant increase in happiness. This suggests that beyond a certain level of financial stability and basic needs being met, additional money does not contribute significantly to happiness. Instead, factors such as social connections, personal growth, and mental health play a more crucial role in determining our overall happiness.
