So Today Is World Happiness Day....
March 20
is celebrated every year as International Day of Happiness. It was celebrated for the first time on March 20, 2013 and has been celebrated since.
The reason for the celebration is quite obvious – to create awareness of happiness around the world.
Happiness is fundamental to humanity. We all need to be happy. It is a sign of well-being. Truth is, it should not have been difficult to be happy. However, humanity struggles to have happiness. Ask people if they are happy, and they will tell you emphatically that they are not. Even those who give the brightest of smiles in front of cameras are the unhappiest.
Moreover, if the number of suicidal acts and tendencies are anything to go by, then the conclusion can be made…
Mankind is not happy.
There are many contributing factors to mankind's lack of happiness. Terrorism, crime and violence are rampant, natural disasters abound, diseases and death are inevitable, economic hardship is a canker, just to mention a few.
"Let's make the world a better place" is a song that has been sung for decades. Yet still mankind continues to wobble in woes.
Celebrating World's Happiness Day is not enough to, perhaps will not even, bring us happiness.
There must be something, something we need to do.
What do you think the human race have to do in order to be happy?
I'll be happy to receive your comment....let's interact.

Everyone looks so much better when you smile..smile and be happy..everyone deserves happiness..good to see you share this moment with the world @serwaa
It's not easy smiling when you have loads of problems....lol
Smiling is good anyway.
Meet their needs and they will be happy, but can we meet the need of everyone in this world such that at a point in time we can say everyone is happy?hmmmm....
Exactly. Then it clicks that no one, in fact no man, can meet the needs of every single person on earth. It is only God that can. Humans have tried over thousands of years and have failed.
I think the only thing that can make one happy is u....Happy urself cuz no one gon do it for u
And will be possible only if u are content with what you've gat !
Yes to some extent. The circumstances will not always be good, but we must learn to cope and value life over everything. Happy yourself.
Yeah very true ..
I guess loving and making peace with one another will bring happiness.
Also thanks for reminding us of this special day. @serwaa.
Indeed. That's what we truly need. But it seems far fetched. We always talk of peace, but we never act on it.
May God bring smile unto our faces always
Of course
