Good health is more important than money for a happy life. Do you agree?

People, on the road of their lives, always look for happiness. But it is very abstract and complicated definition and people can not explain clearly about it. More than that, there is controversial question about the condition for a happy life. Someone say money is the assurance, others think good health is more important. But where is the truth?

There are lots of essays give the most importance for a good health. This fact is very essential because we all educated people and don't like give money a big meaning. We have good enough arguments to believe in it. It's a moral issue and everyone can easily agree with this view.

The main point of these arguments is based on opinion that people can do everything if they have a good health. They would be strong enough to work and produce productions. They would be clever enough to gain useful knowledge for a bright future in complicated jobs. They could entertain their happy if only they are healthy.

But just a good health, indeed, is not the guarantee for a happy life. I've seen our farmers, who are very strong. They work days by days and remain poor. They then can not build a good house for their family; their children don't have such condition to finish all 12 classes in school and follow their parents to be farmer. Days remain be after days, without any feeling about happiness.

People don't consider things belonged them, or things they can catch easily. We are now seating on our jobs with the confidence about our salaries, about our incomes. We need a good health to continue to have things belonged us. But poor farmers have another opinion. They want money to change their life, and their children's too. Only money can help them become happier.

Although it may be a controlversial conclusion, but I would like to stress one point: rich people want a good health while poor people prefer to have a lot of money.

Hi, Alan!

Please be kind, I'm practising writing.
J just don't know how to follow 3-7-7-3 or 3-5-5-5-3 rules in writting essays. There are not enough ideas to write.
