A Happy World

Who would have thought that during this times of difficulties and anxieties, happiness is still on the rise all over the world in recent years. Researchers have found an upbeat outlook on people as attributed to the economic growth in previously poor countries and a rising social tolerance on minority groups and women.

Even the researchers were astonished by these findings. They have often believed that it is almost impossible to raise an entire country’s level of happiness. But then it looks like even the simplest gestures of the government can satisfy people.

Based on the findings in over 52 countries that involved 350,000 people, a big chunk of them are very satisfied for the reason that they are able to live their life the way they want to. Democracy is important to these people. Also, they want respect if in case they choose to be lesbians or gays. By far, the biggest reason is freedom to be themselves.

You see, it is not just the economy that can make a person happy, the simple acceptance of a person is a big help in contributing to the entire country’s happiness.
