FINALLY! I was just checking the French news on TV5, and after announcing that the French president is getting a divorce (not passing judgment, but how can someone so self-involved have ever convinced someone to share a lifetime together?), they had this amazing short piece on a new initiative in Swiss high schools.
From this week onwards, most high school students across Switzerland with be having classes on happiness. Just like students attend math, French or history classes, they will now also receive education on the concept and details of happiness. I find that such a thrilling idea! They interviewed students who just left the class, and they all seemed so thrilled, surprised, awaken... The fact that no exam will take place in these classes probably helps, but I think this is the most important subject any young adult can be educated upon these days.
Long live Switzerland. I am truly thinking of moving over to that splendid place, more so every day.
Shanti Om.
