International Day of Happiness
The United Nations chief has wished the world on the occasion of the March 20 International Day of Happiness, urging all to be grateful for what makes us happy as well as encouraging them to dedicate their efforts to filling our world with happiness. “Happiness for the entire human family is one of the main goals of the United Nations. Peace, prosperity, lives of dignity for all – this is what we seek. We want all men, women and children to enjoy all their human rights,” UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon said in a brief message for Friday’s observance. “We want all countries to know the pleasure of peace. We want people and planet alike to be blessed with sustainable development, and to be spared the catastrophic impacts of climate change,” he wrote for the annual day, which was established by the UN in 2012. The world body recognized the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives.
