The secret of happiness

Mr. Koizumi once said "As all lives are various, so are companies( that may employ a non-working individual such as young Koizumi.)" He managed to put his scandal away with this phrase. As to happiness, I would say, "As all lives are various, so is happiness." Happiness is often associated with daily circumstances such as family, love, money and religion. So it varies from person to person. I would like to find happines in society. In my daily life in Japan, It seems that there are loads of unhappy elements. For example, we have to work for a long time. Holiday is short and is not easy to be taken. Most of the Japanese who live in greater Tokyo spend more than 2 hours in a day on extremely crowded trains. I often feel as if we might be a herd of cattle. There could be no dignity. On the other hand, though I sometimes talk about these complaints with one of my colleagues, we are assured our life as far as we accept the complaints. When I look around foreign countries, it seems that our complaints would not be much of a problem. We are never in danger of life in Japan. There is plenty of food and clean water. Everytime I go abroad, I feel that I am living in one of the safest countries in the world. Our society is not perfect, but I am sure that we unconsciously enjoy the benefit to some extent. This may be happiness or a kind of happiness. I do not understand what happiness is exactly. Because it is intangible. I do not notice how I am happy. This may be the secret of happiness itself and it is certain that we should be sceptical about a tangible happiness such as Mcdonald's Happy Meals.
