hi yogesh, I think it is pretty normal that sometimes people want to escape from reality. We sometimes want other things, things or events that are capable to make us happy and satisfied. On the contrary, I really don't think that people who live in countries you have mentioned are happier than those who live in other places. Happiness can be found at any place. As they say being happy is merely a choice and I do believe in that. In one point, my life was like turning upside down and I wanted to explode and just evaporate on thin air, but thinking the best things that had happened to me makes me realize that life isn't perfect but still, we can make it a happy place. Hope you'll find your happiness and I know you will!! Happy Lotting!

sure... just do the things that will make you happy and complete as a person. Not necessarily to have a girlfriend like what your friends are telling you... it can be anything! Just chillax my friend! Happy Lotting!

Greetings yogesh0505 . You probably have a correct thought there that you could be running from yourself. That is human nature for many and usually if the get to go to somewhere else they eventually find the same frustration since they themselves made the trip. So, you are not alone. I would agree though that the world was better 50 years ago. Not because I was seven at the time, but we did not have to be so careful back then. You trust what you bought--no tamper seals were on it. No one got sued because they gave a customer hot coffee and the clutz spilled it on themselves. No one got sued over serving hot food because someone took too big of a bite or their mommy did not teach them to blow some air over hot food. Anyhow, perhaps in running away so to speak you might run to God through Christ. Now, that's an interesting life.

Greetings yogesh0505 . Yes, you can ask God through Christ to help you practice the Holy Bible verse Philippians 4:8. Because of my rank being below 500, I cannot copy and paste it but you can look it up at blueletterbible.org . If you cannot, let me know and I will try a little trick. Essentially though it is best to try that verse with the life of Christ within you. What happens then is that if Christ is inside of us, our minds are transformed (Romans 12:2). It is still a learning process to think correctly, but with Christ inside He helps a person very much. To have Christ inside we must commit everything to Him, even our own selves, turn from our sin and turn to Him asking God to forgive us in Christ.

I have always believed that life is how you make it. There are difficulties in life that differ from one person to another but is does not mean that you should stop living from there. What we have today, our job, family, health, environment,, are direct effect of the decisions all of us make in our lives. You can only make change by starting from your own yard. Make a difference on your own way. That makes life beautiful
