Sharjah Social Services marks World Happiness Day

The department observed the variety of perspectives on happiness, with some associating it with wealth, travel, or possessions, while others see it through a scientific perspective related to biological responses such as dopamine release linked to achievement.

A shared social responsibility

The department emphasised that happiness is not just a transient personal feeling but a shared duty reflected in everyday actions.

These involve caring for the elderly with compassion, nurturing a confident younger generation, and strengthening family bonds—essential pillars for creating a balanced and happy society.

Creating lasting positive impact

It further emphasised that true happiness resides in the positive influence individuals have on others’ lives and in humanitarian initiatives that represent values of giving and solidarity.

The department confirmed that “a helping hand” can foster lasting happiness that reaches beyond the individual to support the broader community.

Encouraging community participation

The department invited members of the public to share their own perspectives on happiness, aiming to strengthen community engagement, spread positivity, and reinforce the values of happiness across society.
