Happiness isn’t measured in dollars.
A recent report published by the UN says that Britian and the United States of industrialized nations, the US and Britain are the two worst places to raise children.
The study found there was no consistent relationship between a country’s wealth, as measured in gross domestic product per capita, and a child’s quality of life.
Perhaps it’s time we switched to a Gross National Happiness measure, like in Bhutan. The government of Bhutan makes decisions based on how much happiness it will bring their citizens, not how much money it will bring in to the nation.
Maybe we should all follow Joel Johnson’s advice and Stop buying this crap. Just stop it. and go about living our lives.
