Good luck with that.
I'm happy for Finland. They won civilization again this year. The world happiness index. The scientific measure of the happiness of the citizens of a society.
Which should be the entire point.
Of civilization and society I mean. Of everything we toil for. Maximize human happiness for the most humans possible. Full stop.
We choose to make ourselves miserable subsisting under avarice diseased sociopaths who themselves can never be satiated or therefore happy. And we call what we toil for... freedom? What a con-job.
Why take pride in not only losing civilization, but playing the wrong fucking sport altogether? It's embarrassing to be associated with. I'm with stupid as in my nation state.
Do Finnish people know what happiness is, though?
It could be like death and stupidity and they can't tell.
It's not like Finland is a perfect country. It's just least shit one.
My experience in Finland says: yes, they know happiness
