      <description>&lt;p&gt;For years, I’ve thought about what truly makes people happier. Since happiness is a state of mind, it comes down to two possibilities—either people &lt;strong&gt;don’t have worries&lt;/strong&gt;, or they &lt;strong&gt;deeply believe there’s no need to worry&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If someone doesn’t have worries, it likely means that all their necessities are met - including basic ones like food, shelter, security. If they believe they don’t need to worry, they may have &lt;strong&gt;faith in a higher power&lt;/strong&gt; or a &lt;strong&gt;strong sense of trust in life&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
