Answer 2

this is a very good question.‎

Do you think if live in any of the countries mentioned you'll be happier than in Egypt?‎

yet, it needs a thought to answer! Because its like every one thinks "its greener the other ‎side!"‎

People of Denmark are living in "highly thought of poisoned souls" and they are not ‎happy .... i know that this may not sound logic to what you read but "they" are good in ‎writing yet they were and always will live in deep depression thinking of their own selves ‎situation related to live and death!!!‎

Answer 3

As for your main question, the answer is... Absolutely!

As for the second one, I'm not the one to answer that, since I'm not an Egyptian.

Finally, if you are asking if any of us is personally happy, then yes, I am.

Answer 4

Not necessarily,  as it all depends on the choices that you make, & heaven help you if you make the wrong ones, it could be with you the rest of your life.

I'n not so sure the people around here are happy, its not easy to tell, people keep to themselves.

Am i happy ? Yes-ish, lol.

Answer 5

yes i am happy not what for what i have but because i am satiesfied and i am looking for the bright side

not making my self depressed

Answer 6

I don't agree with that, because its not always like that,

Lets say, Islam for example limit somethings to do, and there are many happy Muslims, right?

Answer 7

yes it is true.

Our society is not happy..

I m not happy in light of the above, but i am happy generally..
