@Shawniewrote:I wonder about the factors that were used to establish he happiness ranking because Finland has the worlds highest suicide rate. Norway is just below Finland I believe. They may have a beautiful country with a terrific social welfare system but happiness???? I don't think so.
That's not correct though. This is what I found. They're not even in the top 25.
(My picture cut off the number but it's Suicides per 100,000)

Thank you @iceRedfire
So far, all of those upset about this study have come up with false claims.
Why, I don’t know.

Amusing article in "The Guardian", for those interested, which explores some of the paradoxes in countries' traditionally considered "well-favored". He's married to a Dane, and has an obviously sardonic point of view, but with some interesting facts mingled in as well:

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, @catwhisperer !
It was started just for fun, and I love putting up photos so we can all see what’s up.
I have never understood why some people always want to rain on the parade.

I am happy too but I see the problems of our society.It is about the accumulation of stuff.Stuff makes you stand out.Some people can’t get enough stuff and they call them hoarders.We are so busy working for stuff that we no longer have much time to visit our friends and family.We shop on special holidays to get stuff cheaper.We need alarm systems and video cameras...why to protect our stuff while we are away working or shopping for more.

@Noel7...I don't start threads and don't post on these boards much anymore due to all the negativity. I was so uplifted to read your thread....until the naysayers had to chime in.

I think this guy seems very much in control of his own happiness:

2014 article. I think it's sad to find it important to try and cast a shadow on the happiness of others. Throwing shade on them doesn't put us in a good light. "Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make ours shine brighter."

Sorry, not interested @Oznell. We were having fun until for some reason a few people objected. Thanks, but no thanks, I am staying on the side of fun and truth tonight instead of false claims.
HAPPY ST. PAT’S DAY TO ALL.
A new report out the other night finds that half of Americans have Irish roots.
