The Pessimism and Occasional Optimism of Juvenile Adulthood

This article has been written having just read this news article . - BREAK FOR READING FULL ARTICLE OR ENOUGH TO GET THE GENERAL GIST.- This article amuses me. I'm curious how this survey of 1,000 people in each country can declare Norway remarkably perky and the Central African Republic down. It's certainly not wealth although it's easy to think so. The Danes pay ridiculous taxes with the wealthy paying up to 52% on their income. Mali meanwhile offers a choice of 30% or 3%. This rather bizarre system doesn't count for happiness though as they continue struggle on the happiness list. Instead it must stem from emotional feelings of satisfaction. This is Hygge. I'm not going to tell you how to pronounce as despite much debate, this is a blog not a vlog instead. Instead you can look at the picture.

You may have noticed something happen at the Oscars... Therefore I'm not going to tell you what happened and instead give my opinion on the matter and my opinion is this: A fun anecdote missed. The important thing to remember about any event is the feelings of those involved in this case the cast and crew of the two respective films.
