Perhaps we've got our whole way of life wrong? 13:25 - Mar 20 with 621 views | NthQldITFC | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr72xep44kdo 'Finland has been ranked as the world's happiest country for the eighth successive year, with experts citing access to nature and a strong welfare system as factors.' To state the bleedin' obvious, it's not about aspiring to earn tons of money and not pay any tax and being seen sit as high up the sh!tpile as you can, it's about investing in society and environment and cooling down the ravenous monsters of consumerism and unchecked corporate greed, before it's too effin late. We have to recognise this soon, don't we? It's pretty hard to still be pretending you can't see the evidence before your eyes, no? |  |

Then there's the rest of the world who live in abject poverty, or face being murdered/blown to pieces almost every day of their lives. Now I'm a bit down...think I'll go and buy a new TV |  |

38th highest suicide rate in the world by per capita by country. Doesn't imply all is rosy in Finland. |  | |  |
