So they have to measure happiness by asking people how happy they are, in the context of how happy they were in the past.

Unfortunately, a man living in a box doesn't know what he's missing.

Someone once said, "Happiness isn't something you experience. It's something you remember."

Been here in Belgium for more than 6 weeks. Vast majority of Belgians that I have interacted with seem happy. They are one of the most friendly people I have met, and I have been to a shitload of countries. LIFE is different in Europe (compared to Canada) , I am still trying to come to terms with it.

That's nice. My family, and my wife's family, came over from there, and looked back with no regrets.

I have an EU passport. One grandparent was born in Ireland. My mother collected the required documents.

Wife has a US passport. I wouldn't mind would love actually, to live in Arizona.

They say money doesn't buy happiness. Not too sure about that, but I know poverty certainly doesn't buy happiness.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but the quality of life, experiences and opportunities that it does can certainly help....
