We have two sides to see ourselves as humans: outside and inside. In our daily lives, we are always busy on the outside and don't have much time for the inside. It has now become ingrained in our psyche. Others, on the other hand, can only look at your face to determine if you are happy or not. Individuals frequently assume that the wealthiest people are the happiest, however this is not always the case. People's happiness derives from their inner self; if you're truly happy, it will show on both the outer and inner side.
Is our life as we see it from the outside the reality? Different people have different aspects; what we see from the outside is a phony world where everyone brags about what they have and begs for what they don't. This is like a never-ending race, and people are caught up in it. It can be difficult to cope with the circumstances at times, but whether you like to or not, you must engage in this never-ending race.
Are you happy with your life?? This answer should come from your heart, you might lie but your heart never. If the answer is yes then congratulations you are one of the few people who are happy with their life. Average 5.5 percent of people are happy in this world. The happiest country is Finland according to the World Happiest Report 2021. In my opinion happiness comes from one's mental satisfaction, environment & most importantly people living around play a key role.
This is now a well established thought that people with less money are more happy in their life. There are lots of surveys, statistics say the same thing. Less money means less pressure as they have limited expectation, limited desire to fulfill, that's why they have more happiness in their life. Most middle class people give enough time to their family & this is very important for any family. Three things will never be enough in our life one is money, second is love, and third one desire. We can only take care or manage these things, but we don't have full control over them.
And now, if we look at the world's unhappiest countries, we have Tanzania, Rwanda, Yemen, South Sudan, and Afghanistan at the top (According to World Unhappiest Country list 2021). Poverty abounds in many countries, with little food, medical care, and job possibilities. And crime rates are quite high, that's why they are ranked first on the list of the world's unhappiest countries. Greed is another factor that usually brings them down.
People in these countries have no idea of what happiness is. Life goes on, but having faith in life is critical, and we should strive to be content with what we have.
"Happiness is a function of accepting what it is…"-Werner Erhard
