How Happy Are You?

Yes, you might well ask yourself, How Happy am I? Social scientists are trying hard to find out how you or others would answer, but their task is not easy one. Measuring the happiness of individuals might likened to attempting to quantify the love that a man has for his wife or the amount of grief that is caused by a death in the family.Emotions do not lend themselves to precise measurement.However, scientists do recognise a basic truth: All humans have the capacity for being happy.Despite that fact, many people today  are so unhappy.
  There has been an explosion of research on happiness, and the results of such studies have been surprising to many.With remarkable consistency, the evidence shows that people  who believed that their money, fame,or beauty will make happy are often disappointed and depressed. In United State, many people are richer than they have been  but  at the same more depressed.
      Clearly then, material  possession does not  diminish our anxiety and stress, if anything, it heightens them.
