If You’re Happy and You Know It, You Must Be Small

Finland did it again.  The World Happiness Report (WHR) came out in March. For the seventh straight year, it was No. 1. Keeping the top spot on a “best” list for seven years running is no mean accomplishment. Lionel Messi got his seventh best player award in 2022, but that was over 14 years. The Finns are so happy, apparently, that they aren’t fazed by their 830-mile border with Russia. Not that the Putin regime would ever invade a neighboring country or anything.

We all enjoy lists that rank people, places, things and anything.
