Dec 02 - On Happiness
By Shameem Guilliano
I recently watched some documentaries during a Netflix binge on the idea of happiness. One of them was Happy (2011) by director Roko Belic and the other was I Am (2011) by director Tom Shadyac. The one that struck me the most was Happy, a documentary about what people from around the world consider to be their own happiness. The contrast of seeing a large family in Louisiana, USA, find their happiness in having very little material goods and seeing a young, suited up adult on the streets of New York answering the question “What will make you feel successful and happy?” with “Right now? Money” made me wonder what people in Gibraltar consider to be happiness, and how they think they achieve it.

The Chief and Deputy Chief Ministers yesterday met with the UK’s Minister for Europe, David Lidington, at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The men discussed a number of ‘relevant and topical issues’ including frontier delays, the Spanish frontier works, and the continuing incursions into BGTW by Spanish state vessels.
Gibraltar will be staging a ‘Christmas Spectacular’ this December. This will feature a series of exciting events throughout the Christmas period.
