looksgoodinred Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 and a link to the official UN site this year... http://www.dayofhappiness.net/#happiness For the International Day of Happiness 2015 we're inviting everyone to focus on their connections with others. After years of happiness research, one thing has proved fundamental - the importance of our connections with other people. But modern societies are built as if the opposite was true. We are surrounded by people, yet we feel genuinely connected to almost none of them. The effects are devastating. Social isolation is as potent a cause of early death as smoking; and the epidemic of loneliness is twice as deadly as obesity. We could change this in a day if we all reached out and made at least one positive connection. Link to comment

daytripping Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 On board with this. Too many soor-faced pricks in the world. My nickname was smiler at my old work, the good old days when I was but a youngster, modern living has brought me down, that and the amount of miserable bad humoured people that cut about these days. At least the hat is a refuge for the most. Link to comment

At least the hat is a refuge for the most. Too much effort to be a miserable cunt. These days I see conflict as nothing less than an inability to function in a social environment. Kinda like a mild form of autism, if you ask me. I'm a pretty sociable kinda cunt, despite my Aberdonian-bred suspicion of anyone I don't know. And the longer I'm out of Aberdeen the more amenable I get My philosophy is to treat everyone the way you'd want people to treat your own family. Link to comment
