Happiness

Studies show that the less fortunate are by and large justas happy as the more fortunate. Also studies show that good things and high accomplishments have astonishingly little power to raise happiness.Physical attractiveness(which like wealth brings about any number of advantages) does not have much effect at all on happiness. ON THE OTHER HAND studies show that Religious Americans are clearly less likely to abuse drugs, committ crimes, divorce, and kill themselves. They are alsophysically healthier and they live longer. The relation of hope for the future and religious faith is probably the cornerstone of why faith so effectively fights despair and increases happiness.
