To some extent, this is a scientific discovery made by the British scientists at Warwick University, confirms the assertion of the fatalists, that each person is given a fate from which you will not escape. But there is also a certain uniqueness in this new look at what depends on the happiness or unhappiness of each of us.
Immediately make a reservation that this is only a theory, and British scientists (this combination of words alone causes a skeptical smile) but, as they say, even in jest there is some truth, and here – scientific discovery, and very interesting.
First, let’s recall the dictum of an English writer Quentin Crisp, who lived almost the entire 20th century, much I have seen in my long life, and therefore at the end of it I came to the disappointing conclusion that “the British will never happy, “because it is a nation of” grumpy pessimists. ”

Scientists at Warwick University only confirmed this by coming to the conclusion that the British are genetically programmed for misfortune. As well as many other nations, for example, purebred Americans are genetically the same unfortunate British. But because neither stability, nor wealth of this country, nor its power over everything the world does not make the Yankees satisfied; they are all the same as in past centuries, depressed, despair, blame the whole world for deadly sins and pray to God to send to the same Russians or Arabs Hyena Fire. And the thing is that the Anglo-Americans the gene responsible for the production of serotonin (gene of happiness) is too “short form”. Therefore, these people, by definition, cannot be happy no matter what life gives them, no matter how material no good showered their heads …
As The Times writes, relying on Professor Andrew’s statement Oswald, who leads this study by Warwick scientists, unfortunate Americans and British only the French who have this the gene is even shorter.

But the Danes, the Dutch, for example, for this reason initially happy because they are “joyful nations” darken which no tragedy and trouble are capable of. Of course, in every country, for example, in the same USA, they do not live only purebred British, and therefore, as practice shows, says Professor Oswald, the same Americans who have, say, Dutch roots are happier than their fellow citizens, since they still have a long version of the gene serotonin.
Unfortunately, in The Times article, on the basis of which it was written this note does not say anything about the genes of Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, even about Georgians or, say, Kazakhs – not a word, nor half a word. It would be funny to know how long the gene for happiness in us or our closest neighbors. However, this is without British It’s clear to scientists – a Russian person can be quite satisfied and completely happy, even with only arms, legs and a little sober head …
