Are You Happy?

[thesummerqueen]

Hey, like I said, don't get me wrong, there's plenty of benefits to living in the first world and for sure there's things in the first world that can make people happy (I guess my main point is that there's also a lot of new things that can make people unhappy as well).

It's about how you frame your mind, and whether or not you suffer from depression or other problems.

You can live in a first world country and have access to many free things and STILL be unhappy because you have other troubles. For instance: someone who is poor and having financial problems because we haven't finished getting this 'socialized' healthcare up and running, and struggling to feed their kids and pay for their beat up car that also needs repairs, etc might still have access to the internet at cafe's and stuff, if it didn't come with the TV bundle they may or may not have.
