SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.

Are you happy?
Somehow, I stumbled upon this article criticizing the recent news that the Filipino people are one of the happiest people of the world. We even ranked higher than most people in western nations, and the highest among Asians. Why is this difficut to accept offhand? Maybe because one doesn't need a Phd to know that happiness is relative and oh-too-personal. I was reminded by what a colleague told me years ago: it's better to be rich and unhappy than to be poor and unhappy. I still feel it's better to be rich and happy than poor and happy. Agree?
