Man is created for happiness, like a bird for flight,” recalls the words of the classic of Soviet literature Maxim Gorky. However, endlessly wishing each other happiness on birthdays and New Years, sometimes we don’t even think about what we mean in such a beautiful and capacious word. Another thing is children, they feel unsettledness and discord in life and family more acutely, it is harder for them when they are unhappy. Simply because they are not yet accustomed to enduring hardships. We decided to talk about what happiness is with schoolchildren from different cities of Russia, and among them there are high school students and those who still have to spend many years at school.
