I wasn’t sure where to put this but was wondering what other people’s thoughts on this were. I got to hear Mr. Askinosie speak today (the chocolate guy) and about his travels to Tanzania where he met people in mud huts with small farms and talked about how genuinely joyful these people were. They weren’t starving to death or anything but they didn’t have a lot. The common factor he said was their faith and strong relationships with their family and friends who were close by. With this in mind, of course we always hear about how the desire for money as an end in itself doesn’t equal happiness and in giving we receive. What do you tell someone who says they are happy with their personal life however, doesn’t need a lot of things but then hate’s their job because of how the workers are treated and because it’s high stress? Should you tell them focus on the fact of what you do have and accept that this happens or should they continue to be irritated about it until something changes? Or even though a good job would be nice, it shouldn’t be a necessary factor for happiness?
