I want to add that where Denmark has "hygge" and Norway has "koselig" (both about cosiness, warmness), Finland is the odd one with "sisu", which means perseverance. That has a much more realist take to it than the optimist Danish / Norwegian view. Unrelatedly, the research summarized in this article seems like a big cliche, so much so, that I wonder if the author chose to use quotes for that reason: > [...] one vital component may be a particular “mindset” [...] > People who see stressful events as “challenges” [...]

The government has created this stressful event with it's actions. The government can end this stressful event anytime it chooses. As much as I appreciate yet another article telling me what to do, how to behave, and why I am wrong how about we take a step back and look at the fundamentals. There would be no "challenge" without the government's foolish rules.
