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.
