It is there within the Declaration of Independence. In 1776, for the primary time in human historical past, it was stated that residents have the best to pursue happiness.
This brings us to the World Happiness Report launched on March 20 annually, which occurs to be World Happiness Day. As at all times, Finland led the sport, adopted by different Nordic international locations. On the similar time, the USA has been sinking in recent times and is now ranked twenty fourth.
