An interesting article about happiness in Ukraine
the most interesting part about this article is it's creative interpretation of statistics
“We wanted to have something to cheer up our fellow Ukrainians now that we’re living through all such disheartening political and economic events. In fact, our findings indicate that most Ukrainians feel happy despite all problems and worries. For example, 28.5 percent of the respondents stated they feel happy about their daily life; 24.4 percent feel happy several times a week, while 13.6 percent, several times a month. In other words, two-thirds of the respondents are happy at least once a month. One-fifth rejoices on rare occasions, while 12 percent are not sure. This poll proves that there is a direct connection between the small joys of life and happiness; most Ukrainians feel happy about every day of their life."
I don't see much reasons to be happy with the fact that 'two-thirds are happy at least once a month'.
Most studies on Ukrainian happiness come to the conclusion that Ukrainians aren't that happy (which would also be my conclusion based on the above data).
