Are we happy?


Alarm! Wake up, get ready, and go to work. It is same for all five days (Mon-Fri) absoultely knackered when a day comes to an end. This hectic life of developed countries makes me realise about my old days. Well, I am not saying that living in UK is bad or not enjoyable, as I do go out and have fun with my mates from time to time.

This revolution or let's say "World Transformation" is taking its shape at faster pace. All technologies and gadgets have gone from a size of a house to a small micro chip, which can be hardly seen. Working hard is not bad as you do need to earn to bring a bread home. But people do forget how to enjoy and relax like they used to do before who lived a much happier and healthier life. All those quite night and days, fresh air, wake up call to the cock's shouts of "a-doodle-do" or birds chirping. All those nostalgic memories, sometimes makes me realise that life before was simple and people enjoyed it.

People living in Third World Countries are still living this. Slow pace life, everyone helping each other, no pressure from your boss, etc. This according to modern and advanced civilization to the kind of life led by the Third World Countries is associated with the word 'POVERTY'. People in developed countries are living a comfortable life, got houses, car and other amenities and yet they are unhappy. Why? If you think you are not happy with what you have got then compare yourself with people in poverty, I will definitely bet you with my life that your life is much better than theirs.

What more do we need to be happy???
