you'll be surprised, but i do.. we (school and when i was already working) scout for people and places to help (when i was still in Pinas) and you'll be surprised to hear laughter even amidst the dump and rubbish heap... have you tried sleeping with a family in smokey mountain or any impoverish area? I did... and beneath the poverty, they would still say that they are happy...
