The past few days have been reading articles reflecting the happiness index of Singaporean. The topic was brought up by one of the MP, comparing or learning from the people of Bhutan. I really do not think we are in any way shy or inferior to them. It is all in our heart, our mind. Why are we not happy despite the economy success, the convenient facilities the country has provide us, the peaceful environment? People are there are not enjoying much of what we are and what we have, they are living with simplicity, the necessity, the appreciative. They pray for peace everyday. What do we do? We pray for our own wealth. If we want to experience all those, we can fly there and live for a year. Can they do the same thing? Fly here and enjoy cosmopolitan for a year?
Happiness, is not only material. Though we have to admit it is partial. When you buy a nice bag, u feel happy. When you get a beautiful dress, you're elated. Of cos another part of it is very mental, very spiritual. It's in the heart, how one feels. It's in the mind, how one thinks.
