Response to Chapter 8 (Esther)

    I think everyone want to achieve happiness.  I remember that one of my professor from Sociology course said female tend to be happier than male, because women have a stronger relationship with friends and families. Also, those who get married lead a happier life than single people. The reason is similar to women lead a happier life: people with better communication with friends and families will get support from them and have a better mood. Except relation with others, money also plays an important role in people's happiness. Lack of money will result in unhappy life, but with the increase of money, people won't feel happier and happier without limitation. Even more, much money will lead to unhappy life.
    Also according to the research, people who have religion will feel happier, especially if the rules of the religion is not very strict. I think one of the reason why people with religion feel happier is that they have time to reflect themselves and they feel thankful to life. Being thankful makes people cherish what they have, which is quite significant in life.
