CH 8 reflection by Kira

This chapter is about Happiness, or in other words, subjective well-being. I was not surprised that ".... the poor Filipinas who are happier than the rich citizens of Hong Kong."(P286) because nowadays, money has become the main source of people. The richer we are, the more important money becomes. I would say, many people in wealthier countries are living for money. That could also be true in poorer countries, but I think just because they have no money, they would think of other things or ways to make themselves happy, such as religion,friendships,etc. And that's why the poor Filipinas are happier than the rich HK citizens.
