people really did look happy and healthy, and it was a glorious and bright summer day!\u00a0 What\u2019s not to like, especially with the flowers in bloom?\u00a0<em>Well, here\u2019s the other side of the coin:<\/em><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Those nice summer days are rare indeed up here.\u00a0 Helsinki is the northernmost European capital, and the winters are bitterly cold.\u00a0 Such foreboding weather usually means dour dispositions, not smiling faces.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Finland has had its share of war and strife.\u00a0 It was subject to Stalin\u2019s brutal <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/what-was-the-winter-war\">Winter War<\/a><\/span>, then had to stand up against the great Russian bear throughout the decades-long Cold War.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>They really have no natural resources to speak of, unlike their more fortunate Nordic neighbor Norway, nor are they lucky enough to have a superb major seaport like Sweden.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>So, the weather ain\u2019t so great, the land doesn\u2019t \u201cfront\u201d them anything, and history hasn\u2019t been particularly kind to them, either.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Why, then ,are these the happiest people on earth?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0To my way of thinking, the answer lies (partly, at least) in the question itself.\u00a0\u00a0Let me explain:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>They are happy because, in spite of the fact that they don\u2019t have mineral riches, they do have an enormous reservoir of intellectual and creative capital to draw from: their own people.\u00a0 Finnish leadership in the fields of <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.knoll.com\/designer\/Eero-Saarinen\">architecture<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nokia.com\/en_int\">electronics<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F5zg_af9b8c\">music<\/a><\/span>, and such diverse and creative industries as glassware, jewelry, fashion design, and even <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marttiini.fi\/MARTTIINI-OY\/en\/RAPALA-VMC\">custom fishing lures<\/a><\/span> has made them <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpropertyguide.com\/Europe\/Finland\/gdp-per-capita\">relatively rich<\/a><\/span> even by European standards, and while money may not buy you love, it\u2019s hard to be ecstatic if you can\u2019t pay your bills.\u00a0 There\u2019s a reason why some of the poorest countries on earth are among the least happy,\u00a0\u00a0 after all\u2026 <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Happiness_Report\">Africa is basically a miserable continent<\/a><\/span>, at least according to the latest survey, so\u00a0 it\u2019s no wonder they are all voting with their feet and leaving the Dark Continent as fast as they can.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>But there\u2019s money handed to you, and there\u2019s money earned.\u00a0 Saudi Arabians get money handed to them.\u00a0 Lots of it.\u00a0 Yet they aren\u2019t very happy.\u00a0 Finns earn their keep, and they\u2019ve got to be proud of that.\u00a0 When your tiny nation (by population, not land mass) produces such names as <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean_Sibelius\">Sibelius<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.thefamouspeople.com\/finland.php\">Aalto<\/a><\/span>, and is home to great products and companies such as Nokia, Viking Line, and Fiskars, among many others, its a source of national pride.\u00a0 Again, though, we\u2019re back to the quality of the people.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Also a source of happiness and pride are Finland\u2019s great social services, which include the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.finlandhealth.fi\/-\/finland-s-healthcare-system-europe-s-highest-satisfaction-ratings\">best universal health care in Europe<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/innovation\/why-are-finlands-schools-successful-49859555\/\">the most innovative and successful schools<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 <em>Yet what makes these great services possible?<\/em> <em><strong>People<\/strong><\/em><strong>.\u00a0 <\/strong>Great schools aren\u2019t possible without the concerned and dedicated parents of high-IQ children.\u00a0 Universal health care works best when citizens are responsible enough to live healthy lifestyles.

politician bold enough to say that Africa is too black, China too Asian, or Israel too Jewish.<\/h5>\n<h5>Speaking of which, Jews are always at the forefront of these movements, and Barbara Spectre, who is as ghoulish and unpleasant as her name implies,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=53A5AJoRxF0\">is busy trying to

that line in Tel Aviv?\u00a0\u00a0I suspect she wouldn\u2019t get much of an audience in a country that\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\"

nation when they tried to immigrate there.<\/h5>\n<h5>I will make an easy prediction: if Finland follows the advice of its masters in the EU plutocracy, it will be less happy in the future, and that trajectory will be directly correlated to the degree that they are \u201cculturally enriched\u201d at the behest of their betters, who live in secluded and guard-gated enclaves far from the madding crowds of terrorists and\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/5386\/british-girls-raped-oxford\">rape
