I looked for the parameters for what they consider happiness but did not find it.

aipro, your question is a fundamental question: what's happiness?

my previous boss was a Danish. he said, there's no poor in Denmark and i'm quite convinced about it. Imagine, their government is the one paying their students having their OJT's in other countries, just like here in the Philippines. Those students were not scholars at all, they're just ordinary people in somewhat a publc university in Denmark...

Wow! That's really something, huh?
I wish that can happen here soon! We have so many talented Filipinos, but because of poverty and lack of opportunities, many tend to be in jobs where they are actually overqualified for. :SINGING:

I must agree with you, allen! Despite the poverty, scandals, etc. We are happy people! I usually see people with a smile and the way we make fun of what's been happening is one way of showing that although things are pretty serious, there is still time to laugh and enjoy. However, I hope that we also become more critical and serious in dealing with our society's problems. Let us not "forget" easily. ^^
