I wasn't WISHING it on them!
Just pointing out that all things are relative. Yes - those kids you were watching were happy in THAT moment. It doesn't tell the whole story, that's all.
Will they be as happy when one of their siblings is dying from a preventable disease, or when they are orphaned in their teens?
Happiness is subjective, and massively skewed by expectation.
Pointless survey, with meaningless results.
