I think this is true; I believe that happiness is different for everyone. I think standards of happiness are associated with what people have and have not experienced. People who live in poverty have not experienced a lot; they are satisfied when they have enough food or money to get them through one day. I believe that it is easier for these types of people to find happiness. Since they have experienced less, when/if they are encountered with a new experience, such as having enough food for a week or being able to afford a “luxury” item, they become much more appreciative and truly happier than others. Rich people, on the other hand have experienced so much that they don’t find happiness as easily. They already have so much that they are never happy, they just keep buying more to try and become happy. When they buy these things they consider themselves happy; but I believe they never truly will be unless they appreciate what they have. I associated happiness with appreciation. I believe that everyone has a different idea of what happiness is to them and how they earn it, however, I think one only truly finds happiness when they stop trying to continuously add to what they have, but instead take a break and appreciate what they already have. Due to this, I believe that different classes and cultures have different standards and ideas of happiness, but only true happiness can be found through appreciation.
