RE: Football And Life II. Contributed by @Olawalium
The State serves to create the terms and conditions and the infrastructure that must be available so that its citizens have sufficient access to obtain their welfare. Understanding of the general welfare can be seen from the income level of a country and the economic distribution among the people.
When a person reaches prosperity, that's where his inner satisfaction arises and produces a happy state. That is why income factors are often used as key variables in the measurement methodology of happiness.
There are many stories that prove that football becomes an individual means to improve welfare. Before Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi achieved success in the field of soccer sport, they are poor youth whose life is far from prosperous.
With what they have, it's hard to say that they are unhappy because of football. Instead, they will definitely be grateful to football. That's what Cristiano says: "without football, my life does not mean anything", which is so famous that the Amazon capitalized into a laptop protective sticker. That quote might be true. You can imagine what Cristiano is doing right now when football never existed on earth.
