. Got an insight into the FRONT PAGE of 'the economist'. i am NOT a regular , but just happened to encounter!!! And a question that i'd like to get viewpoints on. How would you measure "Happiness" ? What is it ? When will you call yourself "HAPPY" or is it JUST SO ! :) i know , all of us are happy at one GREAT time in a day. Thats for sure. When? On what thoughts , or, why ?? am i proving myself pathetic to start a thread here , hmm.. certainly not ! Let this thread be something that you could write-upon when you're BORED! :P or to make someone else HAPPY! i dont know. PS: To those who read the article from the magazine , i am not at all concerned with the idea incorporated in that! The write-up is related to affluence. I relate this to general things in life . how a HUMAN BEING measures happiness , not an ECONOMIST !
