4th year , wow happy to live in Finland. maybe we Finns start to realize how good country we have

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

Finns are content and satisfied, not happy in the sense people usually understand it.

Highest suicide in a happiest place

[@TheEdnar83]

I dislike oversimplifying to to "Happiest country". It's not happiness, go ask pretty much any Finn and they'd laugh at the term. Were you to ask them about if they feel contentment, like their country and community is supporting them, whether there are opportunities in their life to self actualize and advance and learn and grow, whether the legal system treats people equally or not and so on, you might get much more emphatic Yes. And that is what makes us happiest. Not that we're deliriously joyful, but because there's real freedom here, not just the word but the actual meaning behind it. Possibilities for individuals that are encouraged by the society around them, not just an individual left to fend for themselves, chastised if they fail and elevated to godhood if they happen to be the 1% who actually make it...

Probably because of the education system they have there.

[@UNDERHALLSMASKIN-R-]

[@remboarraapale8734]

muahaha i live in finland

[@Traveler012]

Hahahaha biggest BS. If it was true we would smile more and not have the highest suicide rates in the world like we have in scandinavia. I'm Swedish so I speak from everyday experience.

[@Turmootti]

You are swedish. So shut up.

[@Traveler012]

@@Turmootti See evidence that Finnish people are not so happy. 😂 Last time I saw a Finnish person smile was when Nokia 8810 was released. 😂😂😂

Happy doesnt mean smiling till your ear tips and faking it to the camera, happy means freedom as well and honesty and even melancholy can be happy

[@freezedeve3119]

some people are smiling because they want that people do not beat them to death, so smiling does not indicate only happiness
