Yesterday my friend, Milind, commented on his Facebook wall. "Often wealthy chaps are less happier than poor ones."
To which I replied: "I am yet to see a wealthy person who is unhappy. These statements are only good in feel-good-self-help type of books."
 
Then I thought that it will be better if I just wrote an article about wealth, poverty and happiness.

To say that poorer nations are happier is probably a stab at rich countries and at capitalism. "Wealthy people are less happier than poor ones" is implying somehow that the wealth has caused the unhappinss and poverty is better if you want to happy. This is utter nonsense in my opinion.
 

This was forwarded by email to me by my friend. Really original...

Each Friday night after work, Sardar would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of his neighbors were strict Catholics ... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.

The delicious aroma from the grilled meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest. The Priest came to visit Sardar and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Sardar attended Mass... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, You were born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now, you are a Catholic."
