Ok ok.. some say 'this' place is good.. some say 'that' place is better.. How about happiness ? Are you HAPPY at all ?
Do we have bench mark to measure happiness?
It will be interesting to know..
What?
Happiness is personal. A person, a place, or a thing WONT make anyone truly happy. Money wont make you happy. Dont tell me you thing external influences is the secret to happiness?
Its something you cultivate, something you attain.
On a last note, sociologists WILL TELL YOU when a nation transitions from a simple, laid back, easy going country filled with "happy people" and a lower cost of living to a nation consumed with a faster pace of living, longer working hours, dual income families, costs, inflation etc people become "less happy"
not bashing - but you know very well what has changed in what country in the last ten years.
