Comparison

Is it in human nature to always compare? Like “the grass is always greener on the other side”. This question deserves an answer. But, I don´t think there will be an answer. At least not a good one. Sweden, the country where I live in, is a very good country. But people here forget this. The social security system covers a lot so nobody can be without elementary equipment. But anyway, people want to have a better life, even though life standard already is at a good level compared to other countries. This is one of the greatest challenges in life. To be happy with what you have, like health and a job.

If you don´t have a job there is social security covering this. Yesterday I read about a suggestion that a form of salary should be provided by the government if you don´t have an employment. I don´t think this is a good long term solution. The government should provide you an employment instead. The question to be answered should be:

How can the government increase the amount of employments? This is more human, I believe. This makes people feel they are part of the society. To not be excluded in the society. But why is it difficult for the government to create new jobs?

In less than a year there is election in Sweden. The party that has the best answer to this question should govern Sweden.
