Though I agree with this statement, I do not believe happiness is measured by wealth. Many people don’t ever become very wealthy in their lifetime and still find happiness. But, what I believe is people are blinded and corrupted with our modern day technology and media that they believe happiness is to be wealthy. For example, celebrities who are wealthy present themselves as very happy being famous and owning all of this wealth, and when the public sees this they look up to these celebrities and hope to one day become like them and earn a substantial amount of wealth. With that being said, becoming rich may be someone’s pursuit of happiness, but I don’t believe it’s the definition of the pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness can have many different definitions; I don’t believe there’s one precise definition. Another thing I agree with Walter upon and fell strongly about, is when he says, “We need to concentrate on our own happiness if we expect to make a difference in the careening technological and slovenly evolving social world of the twenty-first century.” (Mosley pg. 684). Today, especially in our society, there are too many people who are more concerned about others and their lives, than they are of
