If you are looking for rich and “happy” people in the world then visit Denmark the land were education and health are for free. Rich people are not always happy as most of them leave empty lives without a meaning as they don’t have to struggle for survival and to attain resources. Happiness is an inner feeling of delight mainly as a result of doing well to society and your religion.
The Danish version of richness is financial and it tends to isolate religious values .It is a case of the poor go to church because they have a lot to ask and thank God for whilst the rich have everything and God is not worth worshipping .I wonder why the Danes are said to be the “happy” when they isolate foreign nationals as witnessed by the governments failure to integrate foreign nationals They take their privileges for granted and if only they knew of the struggles of a Zimbabwean child then they will realise the value of internal happiness.
Having interviewed many people in the main cities I have learnt that the local people are still poor in the soul I am not happy about the welfare system as the government continues to invest is small and stupid technological advancement which has resulted in many of them being lazy and unhappy because most of the jobs are done by computers.
