Explanation / Answer

Predictably Irrational - Chapter 1- Everything is Relative

Happiness is not based on what we have rather it is based on what we don't have. This is the irons mentioned by Dan Ariely.

There is one my truth and one your truth in any situation but there is one eternal and universal truth also. That universal truth may match to mine or yours truth or it can be a 3rd dimension to any issue. For example, two people may make two contradictory decisions based upon the same information if that information is presented in different ways. Like a person in India if saying that it is day here and at the same time on call the other person in US says that it is night here. In this case both are right. People compare their own happiness with others positions. One needs to be satisfied with little things of life, nature, people around you.
