Happiness for everyone
20/3/15
Everyone
has own view of happiness but the most common is fulfillment. For every nation,
happiness first is independent and freedom. With all of humanity, it is equality,
charity, harmonious development and sustainability. Minimum level for happiness
icludes food, clothing, housing and as much rich as possible but it is not
enough. To be living in a clean and healthy natural environment and society is
to meet the needs of the spirit that is more important.
The
massive development of science and technology has been led to technocratic
trend, growth run of economy at all
costs or power struggle for dominance so that wars are constant and
increasingly brutal, becoming a threat to human happiness.
In 1987,
the British Financial Times criticized the slow economic development in Bhutan ,
the king of this country answered: “The total national happiness is more
important than the total gross domestic product”. The idea of Bhutan made the
UN choose the annual March 20, when the sun is on a horizontal solar equator,
night time and day time are equal - the symbol for harmony balance, as the
International Day of happiness.
To
remention Bhutan
- the country proposed International Day of happiness and applied the happiness
index, we can see the four elements that make up the happiness of this country
are sustainable development, environmental protection, cultural preservation
and good leadership.

In 2012, Vietnam came second in the New Economics Foundation’s Happy Planet Index (HPI)
Those countries near the top of the index seem to be largely middle income, tropical, and have a lot of beaches. Some good reasons to be cheerful but it led me to wonder: is Vietnam really that happy?
81 percent of people felt Vietnam was heading in the right direction, with 87 percent expecting the economy to be stronger in five years time.
Vietnamese were getting rapidly richer, more connected, and more mobile. Poverty had fallen quickly and consumer goods were increasingly available. The country had all the buzz of an Asian Tiger, a young, positive population going places.
a happy people living at one with their environment wouldn’t be the first thought that came to mind for those scanning recent international reporting on Vietnam.
Urban anxiety certainly seems to be on the rise in Vietnam.
Only two-thirds of urban residents surveyed thought their jobs were safe and people were saving much harder
The analysis of happiness is in its early days with data limitations – the survey only interviews heads of households – but with responses from over 2,700 rural households from 12 provinces in Vietnam there are already some interesting results.
Findings indicate that 52 percent of Vietnamese are very or quite pleased with their lives against 48 percent who say they are not.
the factor that gave the biggest boost in the numbers of very or quite happy responses among Vietnamese rural householders is membership of the Communist Party.
