GNH - Where else?

His Majesty the fifth king has been personally visiting the earthquake affected families and comforting them. Words like "I will take care of you" from His Majesty stands as a testimony of a benevolent father of the nation. This, just gives every bhutanese the moment to pause and reflect how fortunate we are to have monarchs who stand by us during adversities. And what more can people ask for?

Gesture of His Majesty holding out his gho's pocket to collect the flying kisses responded by the children just reveals that GNH is happening. And His Majesty is making it happen.
The properties that have been damaged could have been restored under the command of His Majesty anyway. But with His Majesty, travelling personally and granting kidu just makes me feel that what counts the most is the smiles on the faces of those bereaved families which once lost have now been restored.

Forgetting their losses, people have gained the faith to carry on with life as long as they have monarchs like His Majesty. This, the people's happiness, is what I think GNH ultimately meant. And as a citizen, all we can say is, 'Thank You, your Majesty'.
