Costa Ricans are not satisfied with the goverment, or the social status. We think we deserve better, thou many of us are very aware that we are a blessed country. But, I must say that costa ricans are very sure of one thing: the road to well being is more related to frienship, nature, education and good health, rather than money. Strong social binds, contact with family and friends, a not so obsessed-with- money (or things) life, a lot of music, nature, culture and organic fruits and meat , and an easier way to aproach failures are the keys of the pura vida way of life.
Goverments comes and goes, just like the jobs. But there are things that hold you even against the strongest winds: your personal beliefs, the love you share, the body you inhabbit, and the place you call home. Take care of those aspects, and happines will show up.
