I moved from a large city to a smaller city of about 80k .... here the people seem much more happy, the price of owning a home is much less expensive and being the best looking isn't on everyones minds... there is hardly any traffic and people actually wave to each other and talk in passing. People here seem happy... more so than where i used to be... and I am very happy... even when things have been going badly... i look around and take stock of what is going good.. and how thankful i am for what i have
btw... some people aren't happy unless they are miserable...
