That is the longest known research in the academic world. The organizer is Harvard University. The conclusion is also striking.
The duration of the research is about 80 years. Worked since the Great Depression era in 1938. The results of the research for 2018 were announced.
Research results: The first precept of happiness, which makes us happy, is not wealth. It is not higher education. It is not power and extent of influence. It’s not intelligence.
It’s not even a religion to be embraced either. Not gender, nationality, even skin color.
The first thing that makes us happy is having a warm and close personal relationship. Namely warmth in various environments: family, friends, community.
In general, relationships that share love with each other are the main source of happiness, be it with father, mother, wife, children, lovers, friends, relatives, colleagues.
I agree with the research results. I agree with it because I tasted it myself.
Especially on January 4th, my birthday, the warmth of that personal relationship is even more pronounced.
Expressions of affection continued.
Even those who have been conflicting about politics and religious understanding. The inner cord of personal relationships is deeper built.
On birthdays, especially in private chat, expressions of affection: from prayers to greetings, texts, photos and videos, arrived.
I have also been awarded a book, a collection of writings from friends about my work as a person, writer, and activist.
Some have been friends 37 years ago since they were students. Some have even since elementary school.
58 years old already. Some friends describe the journey of my life of having moved many times, figuratively negotiating with destiny.
This expression is conveyed in the video. This is a kind of short biography, or ideography because it tells more about the journey of ideas.
Video of my life’s journey: NEGOTIATION WITH FATE, can be clicked here.
Thank you my friend.
