Your mood is affected by the weather and your surroundings.
I agree. When it is cloudy and overcast and raining you can feel gloomy and down. You wont want to go outside but would prefer to stay inside, maybe light a fire and cuddle up. Not seeing the sun for many days in a row can make you depressed. Studies have shown that as a result you may develop a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD occurs during the winter months especially in northern countries where the sun doesn't rise in the winter. In contrast when the sine is shining and the weather is good you feel happy. That's why many people like to live in countries where the weather is good. Colours can also affect your mood. For example red can make you mad or warn you of danger, while blue and green calms you. Yellow can be uplifting.
It is difficult to go without food for a whole day.
I disagree. Sometimes it is even considered good for you. People pay a lot of money to go to spas where they go on a special fasting diet to detox. More over, Muslims are expected to fast at certain time of year during a religious holiday called Ramadan that lasts for a month during which they don't eat at all during the day but stuff themselves at night. In addition models hardly eat at all in order to keep in perfect shape.
Going through a difficult time can make a person more mature or give them more confidence.
I agree. Sometimes people who have been through a lot in their lives are stronger and more resilient. They know they can overcome any problem in life because they have already done so. That gives them confidence. However there are cases when people don't manage to find the courage or the strength to get over their problems. In these cases they give in to depression and even go so far as to commit suicide. As Nietsche said "If it doesn't kill you, it can only make it stronger".
The love of money is the root of all evil.
I both agree and disagree. Basically what this means is that people will do anything for money even things that are morally wrong like murder and stealing. While it is true that many people might end up being tempted to go the wrong way for the sake of money, it is also true that many people don't. Also money is not the root of ALL evil. Some evil is committed for reasons other than money. For example jealousy can also give rise to murder.
