The only places on that happy list that may be true is Holland and Norway, but I am sure they still have their fair share of people there that are not happy.

You don’t have to do a Google search to find out how unhappy the people are in all the countries listed as happy places. A quick search in the posts here and the other site, will touch on their complaints. Here in America, you can walk outside your door and see it with your own eyes.

Why are so many people unhappy? Well in first and second world countries, it is as simple as “excess”. 

People are unhappy, when they have less than what they “need”. But people are even more miserable when they have more than what they “need”. Happiness is harder to obtain with the more that you have. There is never enough to satisfy true contentment and happiness for most.

I am not going to comment on the rest of the post because I realize it is supposed to taken on a more light hearted comedic tone. 

I just wish that I wasn’t feeling so bitchy lately. 

I'm a strange one. I have this odd notion that happiness comes from within, rather than without. I firmly believe that if one cannot be happy with what they have, whatever that may be, then no amount of acquisition is going to make them any happier. Oh, they can get more, they can grab it with both fists, but if they are not happy with what they have, they will never be able to gain enough to make them happy.

And when they get more "stuff", and then find they are not yet happy, they seem unable to realize that just getting more and more is never going to fill that hole. It just gives them more "stuff" to worry about, more "stuff" to lose sleep over, wondering who is going to try to take their "stuff" away... and that is no road to happiness.

I would feel sorry for avaricious folks like that, but I don't - I realize they are making their own bed, one bit of "stuff" at a time, and it's up to them to lie in the beds they make.
