Introduction
I am going to open by showing 30 seconds of a video about happiness:
In society today, everybody will explain “there’s an app for that!” This essay will discuss an area of life where there is not an app for that. It is an important area of life. The area of life is something that helps you to have happiness – this is the area of life that I focus on. As far as I know there is not one single application that would be on an android, smartphone or any other device that can actually give you happiness in your hand such as spending time with your parents or siblings or family, being in love with someone and/or landing that dream job that you have always wanted. I know without a doubt that there is not one application that can do that. I will explain further in the following words.
No Happiness with an App
There is no happiness with an app:
There are many applications now a days where you can deposit funds into your bank account from a cheque, you can send virtual money to a friend that they would still require to transfer to a bank account in order to receive in cold hard cash through the usual ways of an ATM once it is transferred and/or going to a bank teller, or even wiring money by a service such as Western Union to a loved one and/or friend – but just like money cannot bring you happiness, neither of these things can bring you happiness either. However, despite these technologies, there is not an app where you can press on them when all of this money would be available to you and it would save you the time needed to go to an ATM and/or bank teller if you were in need happiness because you needed it for a specific purpose and/or purposes. Despite the revolutionary nature of applications, there is not one that where you can press a button and it will put happiness in your hand.
Even with the applications that are related to gambling, none of these applications can put happiness into your hands. If you require happiness perhaps to pay at a restaurant or to pay at a gas station that only deal with cash with Brinks trucks collecting their money regularly, you cannot receive happiness from any of these things such as you would by spending time with your family, landing that dream job or by being in love with someone special. There are not any applications for these things.
Someone may also need hard cold cash to buy goods at a bake sale and/or to give a treat of a little spending money for lunch time to their child. With the applications that are in place now, even if you had access to $100,000 from a cheque that you deposited with one of these applications and no hard cold cash on you, you would not actually have any physical money at your disposal at the time to give to your child for lunch money. None of this would bring you happiness either – there is not an app for that.
Conclusion
What is happiness?
Applications and/or apps are a wonderful invention and when people say that “there’s an app for that!” in many and in most cases they are right, however as many people also say that it is money that makes the world go around – but it is truly happiness and loveand/or any higher virtues, there is not an app for that exists …. Yet.
