People have different ideas about money and happiness ( 引导句 ). In some people̓s opinion, happiness is measured exclusively in terms of money ( 重述句 ). That is, the more money one possesses, the happier he is ( 主题句 ). They think so because they believe that happiness consists in satisfaction of human desires with what money can exchange for ( 解释理由 ). So, according to these people, the wealthy can always achieve what they want, while those with a limited income seldom have the opportunity to enjoy life ( 推论 ). This is, of course, not the case ( 结论 ).
However, another belief is also popular, which is opposite to the above one ( 引 导句 ). Some other people believe that money is the root of all evil ( 主题句 ). To them, all crimes or sins, such as murder, robbery, theft, deception, are committed for the sake of money ( 解释理由 ). However, they seem to have laid the balance on the wrong place ( 反驳 ). It is true that quite a few people are driven to wrong doing by their thirst for money ( 事实 ). But a lot of good things are done with the help of money( 事实 ). Therefore, money should not be thought of as the root of evil ( 结论 ).
As demonstrated above, I disagreed with either of these two opinions ( 主题 句 ). In my opinion, happiness is the fulfillment of life for a person as a member of society ( 解释理由 ), which requires a lot that is beyond the reach of money such as good health, love, friendship, satisfaction derived from a successful career, and even the sacrifice made for other̓s happiness ( 补充 ). So money does not guarantee happiness ( 结论 ). Nor is money the origin of evil ( 重述主题 ). Instead, money, as the symbol of wealth, when earned by honest work, is the reward one gets from society for the contribution one has done for it ( 理由 ).
