FYI: Mexico is not in Central America In Latinamerican Countries people don't see happiness in Money, Status, or some other bullshit such as the other countries but we see it in family, traditions, friends and some other things that could not explain

Family

In Costa Rica they call it Pura Vida or Pure Life. It's about enjoying life in the moment, being mindful goes a long way toward happiness

The answer is love

Yeah, family, community. We're happier because we know we're all being shit on by the global north. That unites us. Western societies glorify the individual. Its easier to control a group of individuals as opposed to a united people

New nazca lines just dropped

Europa

It's because American culture has become too toxic. Our morals, values, and priorities are in the toilet. After the fall of the Spanish Empire, they had to learn humility.

how has nobody in the comments mentioned the vast abundance of enormous booty just casually walking down the street in all of latin america?

That is not cute that is death body 😭

Family + Religion

I know

For me it's the weather. I'm mexican, and I live in cities where the weather is beautiful, the sun comes up every single day even in winter, at least a bit. And it's just the festive vibe, I think Latin American countries like dancing and partying for whatever reason, and we have Latin rhythms too, so, perhaps that could be a hint

1. The extended family (the concept of nuclear family is destroying the social fabric of Western societies) and 2. the habit of living in the present (people who live in first world countries are always worried about what they will do in the distant future while we don't even know if we will arrive alive the next day).

Then why are they coming to the US in such large numbers?

Bringing down the happiness of latam by being depressed every day

I'm Mexican and it's true! We grew up with the concept that kindness is essential for connecting with our fellow man. We can't just be mad and treat people in a mean way, the how is as importante as the what 😊 This is not the only thing, but it's one of the essential core concepts we don't even see most of the time, because of how deep it is embedded in our culture. Hope this helps!

Family. Friends. Community. We depend more on each other, value emotional connections, more than in other countries.

Uruguay is a particularly great example. Ranks high on human development and environmental sustainability too!

Brazilian here: let me give you a hint... We lie. A lot!!

When Americans will realize that money isn't everything, it will be too late for America

Low inequality?

Someone from El Salvador here: I... Don't know. I'm guessing it may be due to family, community, culture and stuff like that. However in all honesty, I myself haven't perceived my country to be happy at all, a lot of people I've met were unhappy mainly with economy and FORMERLY with crime, I myself have only felt happy with people from outside this accursed nation. So I'm wondering how accurate this happiness index really is.

It's because of big booty latinas. Stick a large amount of beautiful well rounded, tan ladies in any part of the world and happiness will go up

crazy fcking race !!!!

Pura vida

As an Uruguayan I most certainly don't relate to any of this.

Cringe af.

People confuse happiness with conformity. You need to live in one of these

are these people AI?

Many comments are pointing out how some countries with strong community life aren't as happy as latin americans... I'd say it's not only about having a community but how it's structured. In Latin America it's not based on competition, it's not about gathering your family and friends to show your achievements and trying to be more successful than your relatives. Our gatherings are all about having fun, enjoying the time with your loved ones (or even with complete strangers that you just met). When we gather, it's a special moment: we talk, we dance, we sing, we play games, we eat, we share.

People going to a lot of effort to pretend the earth isn’t flat.

Aussie who lived in brazil. Alot of boozing, easy sx, single mothers, many entitled men. Domestic violence. But if you have a big family you get by. Individual westrners cant get family support. Both have big problems.

Ok, let’s do like this: you move to Brazil to be happy and I move to the US in your place! I’m already packing. Good luck!!

they sent a guy to mars to draw it 😮

how to dance

I didn’t grow up in latin america but a lot of my friends did (in europe, where we have a smaller latin american diaspora than the US) and my guess would be that it helps that community, dance and music are deeply embedded in the culture - especially community, in most places people are far more likely to help their neighbour than in other places as far as I can tell. I’m mostly thinking of Brazilian culture bc that’s what I have most experience with - although I have a lot of friends from other places in Latin America (particularly Venezuela and Argentina) - and I can’t stress enough that this is an outsider's perspective and I am by no means an authority on this whatsoever.

It has to be family, community and food.

CANNONBALL

If you have a beach, it doesn't matter that there's dirty politicians.

Libertine life is what we know that y’all don’t. Europeans, North Americans and such are cultureless homunculi, all you think about is your in-group and money.

the eeper

Imagine your leg is too long making your torso crossing 0.005 second slower than your opponent

I love the info on these shorts but i have to skip them halfway thru cuz this chick looks and talks exactly like my ex 😔

I think the fact that we love to laugh... and try to make jokes and try to have as much fun as possible, from any situation presented to us (in order to keep laughing) is key. Something like "let's extract and synthesize the fun part out of that situation... and let's enjoy it.".

it was drawn with passion

All these people traveling the world, studying abroad and so on saying you don't need a lot of money to be happy... Lmao As a middle class argentinian, I can agree to certain extent, though, but the comments are still funny weird 😂

Even mummified kittens can still be adorable
