Manu .. A very good post as usual !It is much needed reminder of happiness, which is hard to find in the present day world !!
Material happiness is temporary ...but real happiness lies in giving ... rather
than taking !!!
It is 20 March again. Shall we celebrate the second ever International Day of Happiness?
The day recognizes that happiness is a fundamental human goal, and calls upon countries to approach public policies in ways that improve the well being of all people .
By designating a special day for happiness, the UN aims to focus world attention on the idea that economic growth must be inclusive, equitable, and balanced, such that it promotes sustainable development, and alleviates poverty.
Additionally the UN acknowledges that in order to attain global happiness, economic development must be accompanied by social and environmental well being.
The initiative to declare a day of happiness came from Bhutan - a country whose citizens are considered to be some of the happiest people in the world .
The March Equinox, also known as the Spring Equinox, often falls on March 20th as well !!
