Are some nations happier than others? Without mentioning the nationalities, don´t you think that some nations are seemingly more optimistic than others? Recently, I´ve been talking with people from a particular country and it is so clear that they have an energy that is something which really stands out. Is it the food they eat? Could it be a social pressure to show you are a successful fellow, or what is it? Well, I personally don´t believe some people are simply happier than others. Regardless the language and other common bounds that nationals share among themselves, the truth is that we are all part of the same species. Then, the correlation between the nationality and the humor is less relevant than the variation one would expect within the same nationality. Back to my personal example and putting these stereotypes apart, the truth is that this particular feature is much more related to the age group these people belong to, than anything else: they were all young. Language, culture and nationality are all part of who we are, for sure, but before all that, we are fundamentally made out of the same stuff. Despite food preferences and religion certainties, we all possess similar thoughts and behavior, no matter how differently we express them with our own native languages. Yes, it all sounds a bit cliché and cheesy, I totally agree, but what I really would like to reinforce here, is the fact that we should put some effort into the attempt to get to grips with the foreigner. For this is quite important in order to avoid misunderstandings and divisions, especially in these days of populism revival and isolation measurements across the board. That is all. Thank you for your kind possible corrections and have a great week!
