As I look around, in the year 2,024 AD, the thing I see missing the most in people is happiness. Even people that should be happy, aren’t. We have more comforts than ever before; we have more advances in medicine and knowledge; struggles and wars have always been a part of our world, and peace is an elusive dream, yet there’s something else.
