You must have noticed that happiness has become a common topic for discussion. These conversations are taking place everywhere, especially on social media. This is encouraging considering the turbulence this region is going through. People want peace – they want to live happily. What better time than Ramadan to keep the mind occupied with such thoughts? The question is what makes us happy. One thing many say makes them happy is a great family life.
Some tweeted that an ideal way to spend a holiday would be to visit a place with family, while others believed that there was nothing more enjoyable than an early morning family gathering and being around the loved ones. “It’s the site of my mother’s smiling face that makes me most happy,” said one user.
There are some who have a different perspective. For example, one user wondered whether there is anything called happiness. There’s nothing surprising about it. We know that happiness is a blessing that everyone doesn’t enjoy. So if you are happy, remember to thank the Almighty.
