It’s easier to cry in Mercedes than crying on road
There are many people who say that money is not everything. And there is other group who challenges the first group to live a day without money. Money is crucial to buy life’s necessities but is money everything? Do you support the famous line “Money can’t buy happiness but somehow it is easier to cry in a Mercedes than crying on road.”
Yes
• Money is the most important thing in life as it is the base on which life runs. Human strives for food and food comes from money.
• See the roadside beggars who spent the entire day in getting a single chapatti. Life is miserable without money.
• People say money cannot buy health but in today’s world people are reducing the extra weight by spending huge amount of money on surgeries. It is one of the examples.
• Money cannot give life but it can certainly help the people to strive for life. All the expensive treatments that are considered as life saving comes from money.
• Money cannot make people educated but then if you have money you can keep hundred of educated people as your servants.
• It is said that parents never differentiate between their children. But the same difference is seen when the earning child gets the authority of decision making.
• It’s easy to marry a rich ugly girl rather than marrying a poor beautiful girl.
No
• Money cannot provide the core happiness that comes from doing noble deeds.
• There are examples of many famous film stars who committed suicide. They had money but still they find it difficult to survive in this world.
• If money was everything then why can’t the famous and beautiful film actress get themselves a bachelor guy to marry? Why they need to marry the people who are divorcee?
• Money is not enough to buy strong bonds between the two brothers. If money had the magic then it would have not allowed Ambani brothers to split. Rather it is the money who divides the relation.
• The whole country’s money was scarce to give peace and health to Nirbhaya.
Conclusion
It is true that money cannot buy happiness but in the absence of money the probability of happiness is also zero. People who argue that money cannot buy happiness should try and live without money for a single day. They will get their answer. Even a poor family who says to be happy can be happy till the time it gets food to eat. And that also comes from money. More or less, money is important and contributes to happiness.

- Would it sound overstated if i'd say that a person sitting in mercede would cry only if his ac is not working? Yes! Thats not the same story always as pictured in our minds.Merc person would cry getting out of his car and the power of differentiation between the merc person and the road person would vanish!
However the variability or degree could vary of their sorrow if one has to compare them financially but what remains constant is the feeling, the reason the cause that leaves them crying! thats the same! - RE: It’s easier to cry in Mercedes than crying on road. -Deepa Kaushik (06/17/14)
- Hi, I’m sorry I couldn’t name you as you haven’t quoted your name here.
The satisfaction index that I have quoted is to compare the happiness level. And coming to the point of your examples, I have never said that a poor person doesn’t experience the pain. But as the topic says that “It’s easier to cry in Mercedes than crying on road”; I just wanted to express that the pain of a rich person is no less than a poor. A cry is a cry, may that be in a Mercedes or on the street. The pain behind the cry doesn’t get reduced by sitting inside a Mercedes. The pain that an individual experiences is unique for him, that cannot be evaluated by anybody sitting beside. So, no one can compare the pains.
It’s true that life requires compromise at many situations, and every human need to compromise to carry on with the life. Even that doesn’t get changed for rich or poor. Everybody compromises, just the level and scenario differs. Again, we cannot compare the momentum of feeling within the person who has compromised. It is his own unique response to his circumstances.

- @Deepa: In my opinion word that you are using here will look better if you use compromise rather than satisfaction.
A father have to convince his child against his wish to take arts after class 10. even after knowing that he is a maritorious child.... Just because he is not able to offord money to pay his fee to become him doctor or engineer.
Is that satisfation???
A father have to take a hard or can say cruel decision to marry his daughter at the age of 10, just because he would not be able to afford her basic necessities anymore.
Is that satisfaction???
A girl who have been raped repeatedly, is not able to file complaint againg the criminal, Just because she can not afford money to pay her advocate till she hope to get the justice in court.
Is it satisfaction??
A mother looks at her child fighting with serious disease and just waits or keep on praying till he die but not able to take him to doctor just because she would not be able to pay the big amount asked by doctor for his surgery or operation.
Would that mother be able to forgive herself for rest of her life. Is it satisfaction??
Obviosly every mother feels that pain but another mother who is able to afford any cost in best hospitals atleast have satisfaction that she helped her child fighting with death. - RE: It’s easier to cry in Mercedes than crying on road. -Deepa Kaushik (05/12/14)
- Crying in Mercedes or on road is the symbolic representation of the economic status of the citizens of the country. An itch for more and more requirement is the human tendency. A person lying on the street, or a person sleeping in an AC hall in a big mansion, both have some requirements that needs to be met. What matters is how happy the person is with his status of living.
Crying for something is the expression of pain in that individual. The pain of a rich wealthy person is no less than the pain of a poor needy person. The poor on street may be much more satisfied with his life than a rich person with all sorts of luxuries. Satisfaction index is highly important to measure the happiness of the person.
The person in luxurious life is not necessarily having a sound state of physical and mental health which is more alarming than the requirement of the basic requirements of the poor person. The pain of mind is much more than that of physical ailments. One can life by skipping a meal or sleep on road, but cannot withstand the mental trauma with the same ease element.
Hence, it would definitely be unfair to call the pain and cry of a wealthy person to be a easy factor in comparison to the suffering of the poor.
