A bad character, Lestrade

                                                                       September 24th, 2011

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

One of the books that I like the most in the world, is your book called “Sherlock Holmes”. Holmes is one of the literary characters I most admire because of his capacity to discover the truth in the most complicate cases is a fact that made me admire this character. It seems unbelievable to me that he has so much knowledge in so many subjects which makes Holmes a genius according to Watson´s examination. Then, Mr. Arthur Conan Doyle, the motive of this letter isn´t to talk about qualities of Sherlock Holmes, but to tell you that there is a character in your novel that I very much dislike, and he is the inspector G. Lestrade, the Scotland Yard detective, because he is a bad detective, and he is ungrateful.

All the titles and awards of the inspector Lestrade aren’t more than a lie. That I remember, he never solved a case without Sherlock Holmes´s help or intervention. That is the reason why I think that inspector Lestrade is a bad detective; he never decoded a case, or at least helped Holmes and Watson to resolve the mystery. All the time he appeared when the case was closed, or to bring the villain to jail, as “The Adventure of the Second Stain” or “The Adventure of the Empty House”. Probably the incapacity of Lestrade to resolve crimes gives more points to Sherlock Holmes, but I dislike people that apparent things that they are not like inspector Lestrade.

The ingratitude is reflected in a person who does not admit the favors that another person makes for him. This is the action that inspector Lestrade makes with Holmes, and with Watson. I cannot remember in any chapter or adventure Lestrade giving his gratitude for solving the mystery to the team of 221B Baker Street (Holmes and Watson). Inclusive the official Prizefighter gives in many times his gratitude to Holmes for helping the police to complete the case. I dislike the ingratitude of the inspector to the detective Sherlock Holmes.

In conclusion Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I dislike your character the inspector G. Lestrade because he is a bad detective that takes advantage of the awards of others, like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson who resolve the crime and Lestrade only appears to takes the criminal to jail. Lestrade is ungrateful with Holmes because he is jealousy of the detective by the facility of Holmes to resolve crimes. So there are the reasons that I dislike this character. But, this doesn´t cause me to stop reading your books.

Money is not happiness

Money is a concrete medium that represents the work a person has made. With this medium people can obtain material elements, changing the money for the thing. Making this change, people can have many pluses like solving their necessities (food, water, home, transport, light), have a good social status (because he will take best things that others), get pleasure and more things than others (like travels to other countries, go to deluxe hotels, buy marc things, etc.), have more health (because he can pay a medicine, doctor, hospital). In summary, the money can buy many material things, but not happiness because happiness is not material. Material things do not give happiness, and happiness is personal.

Happiness is a fact only present in the nature of human, not in animals, not in insects, and less in unanimated elements, like rocks, cars, earth, etc. Happiness isn´t a thing that scientists can examine because it is proper of humans, and if they examine humans, the experts can´t define what part of the brain produces happiness; they can understand that happiness is immaterial, that it isn´t matter. Then the money can´t buy the happiness because the verb "buy" is only applied to tangible things, for this reason as happiness is immaterial, it can´t be bought with money.

The material things can be bought with money, but they do not give happiness because they are not forever. What is the maximum life time for the material things? A car can last from 5 to 15 years, a T-shirt 3 to 10 years, soccer shoes 1 to 2 years, a new cell phone 3 to 6 months, a super hamburger of Pecos Bill 30 to 60 minutes. This is the reason why material things do not give happiness, they are not durable like a friendship, a family, a son, God. These things produce happiness, and the money can´t buy them. All persons have a personal and individual happiness because it is immaterial and depends on each person. For example to help the affirmation is, that persona "A" can be happy with a family, and person "B" will be happy dedicating his/her life to God. The happiness depends on each person, and he will search for it accordingly. Then happiness can´t be bought since this is personal.

In conclusion money can´t buy happiness because happiness is immaterial, happiness isn’t a thing with a limited lifetime; and because happiness is personal of each human, so money can´t buy it.

The money(Money) (is) not is happiness

The money(Money) is a concrete medium that represents the work a person has made. With this medium people can obtain material elements, changing the money for the thing.
