Once I heard a remark from a would be father in most prosperous nation in the eastern hemisphere a leader in car industry, that

"We don’t see smile on face of our children though they have everything under the sun at their disposal"

Smile on the face of our children is the part of the package of happiness . Happiness does not come alone. One can not be happy if his family is unhappy, or his society is unhappy or his country is not happy. Peace , prosperity are forerunners of happiness. Money cant provide children happiness but a united family can. From nuclear family to single family system to no family system have taken away smile from the face of our children in most of the parts of the world . Children have money but not love of the both the parents and many have to live with single parents or no parents at all. Love for children has taken place by love for luxury, love for cats and dogs. People spend more time on roads even on this part of the world then sitting and talking to their family or children.

The circle has been completed in most of the western world and now it is more common to see families with smiling children moving along with other members sometimes on the roads as compared to 20 years ago. However east is still in the upswing of the circle where children are left to servants , care takers, day boarding in the absence of grand parents or other family members. To earn money is utmost priority. Over 57 percent children in a survey in India said they would like to be with their parents instead of toys or luxury items .

But careers are getting more and more demanding and now its common to leave for job at 7 am and come back at 8 or 9 pm.

Happiness of the family can bring happiness to the society and a happy society can make a happy world : A happy world will not be alone it will have peace and prosperity for all.
