Lebanese are among the least positive worldwide
Gallup measured positive emotions in 148 countries and areas in 2011 using five questions. These questions ask people whether they experienced a lot of enjoyment the day before the survey and whether they felt respected, well-rested, laughed and smiled a lot, and did or learned something interesting.

The five questions asked are:
- Did you feel well-rested yesterday?
- Where you treated with respect all day yesterday?
- Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday?
- Did you lear or do something interesting yesterday?
- Did you experience the following feelings during a lot of the day yesterday? How about enjoyment?
The percentage in Lebanon who answered yes to all the questions above was only 61% placing Lebanon in the bottom 40 positions.
I don’t know why Lebanese are so negative
They must have asked the miserable only
and BTW why do they ask these questions maybe someone had a bad day yesterday
61% said yes!
Ma ykouno fehmo el ehhhhh el manyakeh taba3na as a yes!
It’s seems like it would be social unacceptable in lebanese society for a Lebanese person to be happy…
Gallups la chouf
Enno akid; actually 61% looks awsome.
Just imagine this set of questions:
- Did you have Kahraba all day yesterday?
- Eja sahrij el mayy abel ma yefda el khezzen 3al ekhir yesterday?
- Sme3tellak chi khabriyeh 7elwe 3a kell nachrat el akhber of yesterday?
- Zamattelak min chi joura kbire yesterday?
- Ata3et 3a Jeser Naher El Mot w ma de3et kif trou7 chmel, yemin aw bel nos yesterday?
- Dall chi wa7ad ma zammarlak la2annak w2efet 3al ichara el 7amra yesterday!!
there is a chinese proverb that says:
the reason behind the sadness is the DESIRE
