Apparently, the best things we love ARE free

In life, the best pleasures are often the simplest. Enjoying a good laugh or experiencing the warmth of sunlight on your skin can bring immense joy.

According to a recent survey, many people prefer the joy of laughter over other life pleasures, with no cost attached. In a world that increasingly values material possessions, it appears that friendships, family, and nature’s beauty are the key sources of happiness for many.

In fact, 22% of respondents identified laughter as their top pleasure, while 21% positioned sharing delicious meals with good friends as a close second. Hugging came in third, with 19% of participants ranking it as important.

Among the other cherished pleasures were feeling the sun on one’s face, enjoying a good book during leisure time, strolling along the beach, relaxing in freshly laundered sheets, savoring a breathtaking sunset, reminiscing with old photographs, and enjoying the aroma of freshly cut grass.

Over 2000 individuals were surveyed to identify the simple joys in life. Ralph Walker, head of marketing for Apples, a New Zealand-based company that conducted this survey, remarked, “In an overly complicated and stressful world, it seems we’re eager to reconnect with what truly matters. It’s often the simple things, which come at no cost, that offer us the greatest happiness.”
