The happiest people
Bangladesh's economic, financial and social data reads like a recipe for mass misery. Bangladesh has low life expectancy, low adult literacy-and suffers some of the most frequent major natural disasters in the world. Yet, Bangladeshis are reportedly the happiest people on the face of the planet. This is despite having a GDP of just $1,483.
Many impoverished Bangladeshis truly do appear to laugh in the face of adversity.
A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth! True happiness and purpose in life come from loving the Lord and loving and helping others in some way, in giving rather than receiving, in sharing rather than hoarding, in making the world a better place, in "being a force of nature instead of a feverish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy," as one writer put it! That's what brings on happiness.
