Do you think that love is selfless? Today many marriages are based on materialistic factors, you think couples will have happy lives forever? - In the “Gift of the Magi” by O Henry, there are many ideas about love and selflessness These concepts are communicated throughout the story through Della and Jim’s hardships The couple is unprivileged, but they seem to sacrifice what they have, to bring happiness to the other, like the Magi In the end, both find enjoyment in their gifts since they sacrificed something they love, but it shows how much they love one another I am of the same opinion as the author that love is shown through selfless acts for others’ happiness I think that money can’t buy happiness It means that true happiness comes from within, not from possessions that can be bought Beyond the ability to pay bills, happiness is a state of mind that is shortlived when a person bases it on physical objects People narcissistic tend to be relationship qualities in who are materialistic tend to be and concerned with impressing people They anxious, depressed, have relatively poor skills, and have low self-esteem These turn can cause marital problems Of course, we still need to pay our bills and save for the future Money buys peace of mind when we can live within our budget and save for the future At present, couples will sleep better knowing they have some money in reserve in the event of an emergency In a survey of 1,700 married couples, researchers found that couples in which one or both partners placed a high priority on getting or spending money were much less likely to have satisfying and stable marriages (ABCNews, 2011) The research has turned up compelling evidence that materialism isn't great for anybody Multiple studies have found that people who are materialistic are also more anxious, depressed, and insecure than non-materialistic types A stronger love of money has also been linked to trouble at home, as these individuals tend not to balance family evenly with work
