The
theme of the World Youth Meeting 2014
“Ingredients
of Happiness.”
The
21st century is the time when a wealthy life is within reach
everywhere, both in developing and advanced countries. However, the dark side
of our time is that being rich doesn’t always assure happiness – increasing
numbers of people in “richer” communities have been suffering from mental
illness and depression, or even committing suicide.
Some
studies in Positive Psychology suggest that the key to being happy is being sociable,
contributing to others, and living your life to the fullest.
Let’s
think it over about happiness together, in the 16th WYM; let’s find
out what makes us happy from aspects of communication and international
relations.
