20 March is UN International Happiness Day, and this year’s theme is ‘Be Mindful. Be Grateful. Be Kind’.
The official website helpfully tells us ‘There are lots of big and worrying issues in our world right now’. It goes on: ‘We can’t always change what is happening, but we can choose how we respond.’
You are advised to ‘create a happier and kinder world together […] By tuning in to your feelings, looking for what’s good and sharing kindness you can nurture yourself and help make things better day by day.’
What a load of pious crap.
The real cause of the ‘big and worrying issues’ is the casino economics of capitalism. The truly kind and mindful approach would be to ditch it.
