ILE Happiness Index: Taking all together, how satisfied or dissatisfied are you with your life as a whole these days?

According to the 'World Database of Happiness'

The 10 highest averages are observed in:

8,0 Denmark
8,0 Malta
8,0 Switzerland
7,8 Iceland
7,8 Ireland
7,6 Canada
7,6 Luxembourgh
7,6 Netherlands
7,5 Mexico
7,5 Sweden

with Britain 7,1 and the USA 7,4.

Went with a 3 but may have been over-generous.

I'm going to be awkward here and say that sometimes during the day I feel "10 Satisfied", but at other times I feel "1 Dissatisfied".

Probably a seven even though I realize I should put it higher (even though I feel like a seven).

I would say 7 pushing 8.

I feel pretty grumpy today, and I dunno why!

Probably about 6. Slightly more satisfied than unsatisfied, but not very.

eight. my life on paper right now looks like an unfathomable disaster, but i'm more than happy to be me...and the swing-about in the political climate ain't hurting, either!

Older people like me are notoriously better satisfied with our lives than twenty-somethings. We've been working at it longer and usually have made more progress. Youth gets better health and more vigor, so it's a fair trade. I voted 9.

Four. On paper it's a big goose-egg but I'm all about hope and change.

8!

My boss called my Captain positivity as he signed off on my raise today!

i am now mildly concerned he reads ilx but whatever!

9. shit is awesome around these parts. will get back to you all if my store goes belly-up due to the economy and modify.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm at about a 3, maybe a 4. Underpaid, overworked, not seeing any end to either in sight.

Maybe I should try to find a new job.

Hmmmm.....

I'm drinking a soy latte
I get a double shotty
It goes into my body
and you know I'm satisfied

I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-duper
Yo, they tell me I'm a
trooper and you know I'm satisfied

I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So, I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied

I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysic shit is dope
And if all this can give
me hope, you know I'm satisfied

So yeah, 10. That's a number one and a big fat madonna.

2, sometimes 3. I'm both envious and mystified that so many people (around the world, and here) could say 7, 8. It would take a lot (of money, success and nutcase sex, and I mean compared to the greats) to get me up to, say, 6. How does it feel to be so satisfied?

4. I need a job, social life, sex life, and church (sounds worse than it is...I just moved), and each one of those will bring it up a point.

the optimism of youth...

if i get mega-laid it'd push it up to 7 prolly

some people are just content with themselves/their lives without needing "more" shocker

also how often does more "success" only bring more more misery?

they look so unhappy!

i still want one of those jackets. Ma$3 where did you go bro

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

That's a bloody joke. What a swindle.

There are only two completely happy people on this board.

Possibly.

Hi Dere & Ned Raggett!

Ha!

8260 who've never had any reason to think about it or don't participate in the discussions or are ILX System Itself (= all of them not unhappy) + 2 who voted 10/10 = 8262 who couldn't be happier vs. 84 who voted 9 or less

FITE!

also: "but I'm not a whole!" joek replies are missing :-(
