I noticed that the nations that are the happiest are often poorer than the less happy ones.
They are also much more prone to teasing and constantly laugh at themselves, each other, and everything around them.
Happiness is not the choice to seek out joyful moments. It's not "Pollyanna," where you try to ignore what disturbs you, pretend you don't see it, and act like everything is fine. That is justifying negativity with attempts to view things positively.
