They are from all walks of life and no matter where they are, no matter what they do, there are people who feel happy, and there are people who feel sad, or even suffer from s… or some mental disorder. And the investigation found that it does not matter. Your happiness is not decided by your wealth, your fame, or which group of people you belong to.
