People in poor countries are happier, they don't take life for granted and they enjoy everything they have, loving and sharing with the people around them. People in rich countries are greedy, they always want more than they have, and they don't want to share it with anyone. Poor people are less likely to judge people by clothes, their house, their way of living. Rich countries, that's all be people go on.

Poor countries, believe it or not. When you don't have anything, you realize exactly what is important in life and you recognize it. You are closer to the people around you and you are more appreciative and pleased when you *do* come into some wealth.
For rich countries, their wealth is never enough, they always are striving to make more, and they often miss out on the little things that could make them happy.Like (2)

Happy people are happiest.
One either approaches life with that attitude or one doesn't. Those who think it's determined by external factors never find happiness.Like (1)

When the body is sheltered and nurtured the human being finds other problems and seeks other fulfillments. Both sides of the coin have their problems but I don't think any of us fortunate enough to be fed and sheltered as a way of life would swap our depression and self-piy for a day in the life of a slum dweller scavenging for food.

People in poorer countries, tend to band together and share a strong sense of community. They also can suffer incredible losses beyond what most people in richer countries could handle.
Rich countries have people with better health and who have a much greater chance of surviving and even living comfortably (or lavishly). We suffer losses but usually more spread out with time to heal. I don't know how we suffer losses since we seem to have put up walls keeping even our closest neighbors and family out.
