ESSAY 16

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people enjoy life more than older people do. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

The idea of having a memorable life is shared by many and it can be said as the common goal in life. However, the notion of happiness is somewhat abstract and people have been debating whether older people or younger people that tend to enjoy their life more. It is disagreed that the age is the key deciding factor of happiness in life. I believe the concept of happiness relies on people’s nature and expectation.

The main question of life, happiness, and age will push us to answer this particular question: how is someone's nature contribute to his / her happiness? In other words, what does old age have to do with being happy? When people are in their old age, they have gone through lots of major key points in their life. This ranges from their first job, wedding, having a child, building a house, sending the child to the university, having a granddaughter and so on. These experiences may or may not make them enjoy their current moment. In addition to this, if someone still has lots of unfulfilled ambition despite their old age, he /she may be unhappy with their life.

The position of an adolescent is not very different to that of an old man. A young man can possibly be born in a rich family or in a poor family. This nature will influence the major opportunity in their life. However, it is also true that a man can change his life by his actions. Therefore, it is not necessarily true that a teenager from a rich family will have a more enjoyable life to the opposite life of his peers. Moreover, most teenagers have great expectation for the future of their life. If they do have this motivation then it can push them towards greatness.

All in all, life offers many things: the past, present, and future. The attitude of a person comes from their own perception to their nature. Their expectation also holds the key to their happiness. Together, these two factors build up people's happiness regardless of the length of life they have lived.
