Anticipation Guide Statement Response And Questions

Statement Response

A person's love can be gained through material wealth.

This statement regards whether a person's love can be bought through money and objects. Many people have tried to find love this way, and have not usually had a good outcome. This is because our culture has placed an overemphasis on material wealth versus honesty, commitment, and selflessness. I believe that a persons love cannot be bought through material wealth because the person ends up loving the things you buy for them, and not actually loving you. Although some people try to find love this way, I would say that most people have learned that this is not the right way to go about finding happiness in your life.
