We all want to be happy, don't we? I'm sure everyone will agree on that point. The sad fact, though, is that, around the world, too large a proportion of the population is silently suffering from sadness. Approximately 14 % of the population of Paris, France suffers from depression, that serious condition that makes life difficult for so many people. And this situation is not unique to one region of the world. On the contrary, the situation is even more serious in countries like Brazil and Chile where depression rates in the major cities of Rio de Janeiro and Santiago are reported to be as high as 16% and 30% respectively (Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2001).
But let's not linger on the negatives. All that information was basically a background to the sadness situation, some insight into where the world is, with regard to the story of sadness.
