SLC-S29/W4-“Thinking and Ideas!| Rethinking the Normal!”

Hello dear friends,

How are you all? I hope you are well. I am also fine by the grace of Allah. Today, I have come to participate in the first week of the Steemit Challenge SLC-S29/W4, organized by the Honorable teacher @ninapenda ma'am. She has brought us a thoughtful topic, whose name is “Thinking and Ideas!| Rethinking the Normal!”. I feel proud to participate the beautiful challenge."

Name a practice, belief, or system that people take for granted but should be questioned. In such a great discussion, the belief I would like to bring forward is: “More money means more happiness.”
There is a common idea or belief in our society that money is the root of all happiness. And the more money one has, the happier one is. Believing in this idea, we constantly strive to earn money. Naturally, we need money to live our lives. Without half, we will not be able to conduct our normal activities properly. Everything will be in shambles or come to a standstill.
Everyone accepts the idea that sufficient money is needed for happiness. And by accepting it, we give so much importance to earning money that many times he loses his naturalness, the importance of family decreases, the sense of injustice disappears, and he leans towards earning unjustly.
Then he cannot understand that although money is necessary for the concept of life, extra money does not bring more happiness. For happiness, along with money, strong family ties, love, affection, entertainment, etc. are also needed. Although the idea of "more money means more happiness" is common, this issue should be questioned. Research should be done, and the confusion that exists among the common people around this idea should be removed. So that no one becomes greedy for money. Where money can be earned by doing normal activities, the desire for extra money destroys the normality of family and social activities.

“More Money Means More Happiness” is a concept that people have taken for granted. People do not challenge this concept, and even if they do, it is so insignificant that it cannot be counted. One of the reasons behind not challenging it is the financial crisis of people. Usually, most people belong to middle and lower-class families. They struggle to provide the necessary money to support their families. They cry for money, find it difficult to do daily shopping, sometimes there are problems in educating their children, and when they get sick, they see darkness in their eyes. In such a complex situation
“More Money Means More Happiness”- The sense of justice and injustice disappears. They give more importance to earning money. Then they do whatever is necessary to earn a lot of money.
Some people consider earning money as the only recourse; they want to get happiness with money. They think that the more money they have, the happier they are. There are many reasons why people don't challenge the idea that "More Money Means More Happiness".

I firmly believe that if the idea of"More Money Means More Happiness"can be changed, many changes will come back to the family and society.
Below is a short list of the changes that will come back to the family and society.

• Improved mental health-
  People get tired of chasing money, are under pressure, and are constantly in competition. If the aforementioned idea changes, people will fight for as much money as they need, will engage in less comparative competition, and will gain human peace of mind.
• Healthy work culture
  It will be possible to supply skilled workers in the workplace. Because then they will know that work cannot be found without skills. Quality standards will be created in production.
• Stronger relationships
  The idea of “More Money Means More Happiness” can make people greedy, so changing this idea will make people work less, give enough time to family, children, and build good relationships with them, which will make family bonds stronger.
• Reduction of social comparison
  If money is not the main measure of success, then people will stop constantly comparing their lives. It will build confidence and gratitude towards each other, which will help increase social harmony.
• More ethical and sustainable choices
  Moving away from money-driven happiness can reduce excess spending and environmental damage.
• Fair education and career choices
  Students will choose careers based on interests and skills, not just salary. They will create a workforce that is more skilled, creative, and open to new ideas.
• Improved social values
  If this situation changes, society will start to respect kindness, creativity, service, and honesty as signs of success instead of just wealth. Which will be very positive for society.

If the idea that “more money equals more happiness” were to disappear completely, there would be many benefits—but some important things are likely to be lost. Questioning this belief does not mean that money becomes irrelevant, but rather that completely ignoring its role can create new problems. For example:

• Motivation to improve the quality of life
  The desire to earn more money often motivates people to work harder, innovate, and improve their skills. If money were no longer associated with happiness, some people would lose the motivation to escape poverty or improve their difficult lives. The poor would become even poorer.
• Economic growth and innovation
  Financial incentives drive many business, technological, and medical advances. But completely decoupling money from happiness is likely to stunt entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and economic progress.
• Sense of achievement
  For many, earning more money represents effort, progress, and independence. But removing the concept entirely can diminish the sense of achievement, especially in societies where financial stability is achieved through hard work.
• Awareness of financial responsibility
  If people stop associating money with well-being, they may underestimate the importance of saving, planning, and financial discipline, which are considered crucial for safety in times of emergency.
• Recognition of real financial struggles
  Money is important when basic needs are not met. When trust disappears completely, society can ignore the real happiness gap between poverty and financial security.
