I want to start by talking about happiness. What is happiness? I found so much definitions of happiness, but the most fitting on my awareness was that happiness is a journey not a destination. It means there is no better time than right now to be happy.

I chose to speak about happiness in three countries. Denmark ( which is the happiest country in world right now), Lithuania and Latvia.

I found that there are quality of life index. In quality of life includes a lot of things such as  economy, environment, freedom, and even climate. For example Denmark is not in the first position it is lower. So, I can infer that quality of life not reflects people happiness.  In comparison happiness in Latvia and Lithuania  according to statistics Latvia are in the higher position than we are.

It is unbelievable  that researchers find out that people get happier as they are older and they are not sure why. They just can guess maybe it is because of environmental changes, maybe it is because of brain chemistry or psychological changes. Also the researchers sort out that whose who are happier, whose feel less stress live longer than people who are stressed.

To sum up, in my opinion how happy you are it is not depends on country where do you live. Yes, it has  an effect, but not so strong as sometimes people think.
