Icelandic people are very happy because of their loneliness

“”

The BBC once explored the true meaning of happiness in Iceland. They discovered from the financial crisis in Iceland that the bankrupt Icelanders did not become depressed or resentful, but instead exuded happiness. With a strange excitement.

Mainland China does not have a complete personal bankruptcy mechanism, and Hong Kong may be used as a reference. Hong Kong people can "take a long-term view" on their personal debts after filing for bankruptcy, but they may also be barred from engaging in the original industry due to bankruptcy.

For example, I was once an elite in Central. After my bankruptcy, my career options were limited, so I might have driven a taxi... Although I had a job, the gap would inevitably make me depressed. The people under the Lion Rock Crowds of people cannot "eliminate" helpless loneliness, and life must be carried by oneself.

Through interviews and understanding of Icelanders, the BBC found that Iceland, an island country with scarce resources and a not-so-friendly climate, has a small population and seems alienated and lonely, but they like to huddle together for warmth and are always ready to help. The other party lends a helping hand

Anyone familiar with Icelandic culture or history knows that Icelanders have been a driven group since ancient times. They were driven from land to small islands in the Arctic Circle and isolated. and the long winter nights made Icelanders learn to be optimistic about life, live strong together, and trust each other...

So when the bubble of the financial crisis was burst, Icelanders felt that "things became clear." , the old economic system is already full of loopholes, so we can learn lessons and start over, and compatriots who suffer bankruptcy do not need to worry, there will always be neighbors or friends to come to the rescue.

A few years have passed, and the shadow of the crisis in Iceland has dissipated like the dust from the last volcanic eruption. People from all over the world continue to travel here. They find that the scenery of this country is even more amazing than the advertisements. Experience firsthand the warmth of Icelanders who come to the rescue in times of trouble.

Apart from the weather, it is hard to find a traveler who has been to Iceland who complains about the scenery and people here.

Trust, optimism, tenacity - people with the same understanding will eventually come together, even if they have to endure the wind and snow, experience a long wait, and even be a little "self-admiring", they will eventually feel happiness .

"Let's come together"

I also believe in the existence of parallel worlds. There must be a me in a parallel world who is traveling in Iceland at the moment. I want to see the beauty of Iceland for me in this world, and be with people who have the same understanding.

After living in Northern Europe for more than 20 years, Duan Tao still can’t take enough photos of this place, especially Iceland.
