In the hustle and bustle of life we are forgetting the art of living, forgetting the real purpose of life, concentrating our entire focus on the means.

6. Wealth you say?
ONS (Office for National Statistics) states that higher income
increases life satisfaction but has little effect on
anxiety, stress, and hence, happiness.
7. Education you say?
A new study published in British Journal of Psychiatry states
that high level of education has no effect on personal happiness.
8. Authority/Power you say?
Various studies have proven, time and again, that “Power”
attracts more negative energies than the positive ones.
9. Religion you say?
ONS states that religious people are happier than their non-
religious counterparts. However, one can not defy the fact that
religion has caused many of the major historical conflicts.
10. Family you say?
Though families contribute largely to a person’s happiness, two
recognizable surveys (ISSP and ESS) reported one of the most
debatable paradoxes in 2009 that, married people with children
tend to live less happy life than their non-parent counterparts.
11. Friendship you say?
While friendship is proved to bring more happiness than
wealth, no one can deny the ill-effects that appear in the guise
of envy and unreasonable competitiveness, that are getting
amplified in the present age of social media.
12. Health you say?
Happiness and health are strongly co-related. If you are
happy, chances are, you have a healthy physique.
However, being healthy doesn’t always leads towards
happiness.
13. Seems like each factor has its importance in a person‟s happiness.
And since we‟re not Utopians, we can‟t have „em all.
