Importance of happiness in UAE

Lexicons invariably provide variable meanings of the same word, such that the meanings enable the word to be used in different contexts. Following suit, the Merriam Webster defines happiness as ‘good fortune, a state of contentment and joy, or a pleasurable experience’. But what if, in a particular context, all these meanings could apply simultaneously? Well, I believe that life in the UAE is true in that context. Because life in the UAE is happy: It is contentful and pleasurable.

The bodies that govern countries are undoubtedly responsible to serve the people and create a platform where they can achieve their hopes and aspirations. But seldom do countries have portfolios termed ‘Ministry of Happiness’. This is a crystal clear depiction of the massive quantum of importance the UAE governance gives to the happiness of its public.

Already equipped with a cosmopolitan outlook, owing to the presence of a large number of people of different nationalities, the UAE’s Happiness Ministry has given an impetus to the global position of the country. The UAE is now an ideal country for public satisfaction. Additionally, the other government policies are aimed at social comfort itself.

Today, the UAE has become synonymous with the fabled wonderland, not only for its citizens, but the expatriates living in it as well. They feel that they can have the comforts of their home despite being far away.

The year being celebrated as the birth centenary of the UAE’s Father of the Nation, late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, it goes without saying that the vision of this legendary leader is indeed being implemented.
