Average happiness

Everybody know what is happiness, why is it so important and why do people do crazy to get it. Dutch sociologist Ruut Veenhoven realized that and did a research based on countries population happiness level.



It is not a surprise that people in Lithuania do not feel happy at all. According to the research Lithuania is 85th from 95 countries involved in the research. There can be made many theories about this result but one of the strongest argument is the influence of the still existing Soviet Union tail. Even when it has passed away, people are expecting that many things should be done for them and that the government is the one who must tell people that they are or should be happy, that people should do things to make their life worth their happiness. And basically we all know that this is not true and it cannot be true anymore. 19 years have passed and I think more than that much is needed to change the rating of happiness in Lithuania.



To conclude I can see only one way from this situation. The cure is time. Time should erase some bad history facts and circumstances from our heads and we should be able to build our own palace of happiness in ourselves.
