Be Happy
How much do we know about happiness? What does a human need to be happy? Everyone answers this question in their own way but there also exists some objective data.
A lot of people are sure that wealth is an important part of happiness and that money can make you feel on top of the world. Actually, according to scientific research, money can’t buy you satisfaction. It is just getting the bare necessities that gives you a sense of delight. Additional income can hardly raise your spirits.
Youth doesn’t make you happy either. The same research shows that older people are more satisfied with their lives than the young. In fact, young people tend to have dark moods and feel blue more often than senior citizens.
A good education is a useful thing but, unfortunately, neither education nor a high IQ is a key to happiness.
We can’t be certain about marriage. Though the research shows that married people are generally happier than single, it is difficult to say if they become happier after getting married or are originally happier than those who stay single.
A good climate and plenty of sunshine have nothing to do with our emotions either.
So what helps us to look on the bright side? Scientists believe that among the facts capable of raising your spirits are religious beliefs, true friends and a good family. One of the conclusions that scientists make is that people who have them, achieve the highest level of happiness and seldom feel depressed.
