The 2024 Happiness Report observed data on six areas which are said to create happiness. These six areas related to the average amount of money received by individual citizens, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and corruption.  From a global and historical perspective we have much to be happy about in the UK in the 21st Century. 

However, Luke’s version of the Sermon on the Mount (Luke 6.20-20) declared:
Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours.
Happy are you who are hungry now, you will be filled!
Happy are you who weep now, you will laugh!
Happy are you when people reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man!

Also Paul could write: “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say rejoice”! (Philippians 4.4) while in prison

Be Happy!
