I come from a country (3rd world) where life is tough. That results in a lot of bonding and friendships. So despite adversities and misery there is a lot of happiness, too.
From what i see, Western society seems pretty lonely -- I often wonder if that's because there is nothing (no problems, no adversity) to bond people together.
- kristiandupont 16y agoI would agree. I am from Denmark (which I think might have sparked this research because we are frequently reported the happiest nation on Earth - and also the one with the highest suicide rate). It's fun to see when something happens. For instance, the credit card system broke down everywhere for about an hour this Saturday, during the prime shopping hours. This almost caused a panic but there was also a lot of friendly conversation among strangers becuase they suddendly had something to talk about!
