Satisfaction

I agree with the caption. Happiness to one person may look very different to another person. In this image a boy with very little is happy and a boy with a lot is very sad. Although this is probably not what the person who posted this was thinking, when I saw the image was thinking that the boy with a lot of toys probably did not want them. For him to be content he might not need toys but maybe attention or something else. To me his happiness and or satisfaction is not determined by toys. It’s possible that he did not even want the toys. The boy to the right, seems very happy with this one toy. To him playing with his toys might bring him happiness and satisfaction. Although he does not have a lot of toys that does not mean he won’t be happy with his one toy. I know that the person who wrote the caption was not thinking in this way, but I feel that this is a better perspective on their idea because I think it’s very rude to categorize somebody as being selfish or ungrateful because they are not happy with the stuff they have. Just because most people and or kids have a lot of stuff that does not mean every person who has more will be content with the same things. In fact, I think the photo counteracts the caption. If the image was simply not there, the caption would be more meaningful.
