Happiness.

Bhutan has a very high happiness quotient and will probably try to maintain it.
We all have inquisitive brain, we try to understand, improvise, make life better? try to find meaning of life.
We do not have all the answers. Each individual is special and needs to find his talent and excel in it. Do we have the environment for that?
What incentives are there for a person to do something which he does?
Without incentives we do not do much, but incentives work in there own way.
Markets, that is collective behavior of people dictates the incentive, in subtle or overt format. You see different branches coming to limelight at different times, and humans with their survival instincts respond to the market. It was a rational choice made at that point of time, she may change it at any time. This change always scares us. Fear of change makes us lose on other possible alternatives which market is still not ready for, under such circumstances one should be ready to take the plunge. The question is beyond food and shelter, but it starts with that.

How to create an environment where everybody is respected and honored for his talent? Tough task. Children can be raised to be responsible, accepting pain and trying to find a suitable response to alleviate pain is an ongoing process, even for adults.
Nature has endowed us with grey cells which keep questioning, sometimes we question the basic natural instincts. What is natural and what is unnatural is very difficult to be defined. Do we have the stomach to digest everything happening around us?
Do we have it in us to not to lose rationality amidst chaos of every kind?
See violence and not get violent or at the same time not accept it passively?
See promiscuity and restrain the natural instinct?
Accept gay friends without bias?
Accept our own shortcomings and of our close ones?

How do i relate it to my initial quotation? Well we need to have environment where everybody  is respected. It happens only when prosperity is there. The brain operates differently when it believes in theory of abundance. To believe in theory of abundance you should be raised with unconditional love and support. We will chose and excel in any profession we chose provided our dear and near ones accept us  and have a faith that it will lead to prosperity. It can happen when all rounded development is there.
More of it later, as work is demanding.
Competition brings the best out of us. Our happiness lies in excelling, trying to excel is life.
