Are u happy ?

I just read a survey report that says

Bangladesh is the happiest nation in the world, according to a recent study report of the World Happiness Survey. The United States, on the other hand, is a sad story, which has been ranked only 46th in the list of happiness.

India is the fifth happiest place in the world, with some other countries including Ghana and Latvia, Croatia and Estonia put in the same ranking. The study led by professors of London School of Economics on the link between personal spending power and the perceived quality of life conclusively proved that money can buy everything but happiness.

The study revealed that people in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, derive far more happiness from their small incomes than, for example, the British (32nd on the list) do from their relatively large bank balances.

    Americans aren't happy because we are born into a system. From the minute we breathe, we are assigned a number. Then, throughout our developmental years we are told that we have to go to college and get a good job and we will be happy. So what we have is an entire country of people struggling to find happiness through hard work and perseverance in a job we hate. Day in, day out, millions of people driving to and from work, hating life and everything around them. By working everyday we have a fat bank account but nothing else. A placard on the wall telling everyone where we went to college hangs as a testament to what we're born to do and die from in this country.

    ... but you know me, I can't complain.

    I wonder which US states were surveyed. I think it depends on what part of the country you happen to be in. Country-dwellers probably have a better outlook than city people (just a hunch)

    its true money cant buy happiness. maybe with money comes more problems and once you lose it, you will not be happy. so since those poor people didnt even have it in the first place, they wont feel sad about it.

    for myself, i am both happy and unhappy at times. but its not cos of money.
