What makes us happy? According to the World Database of Happiness, people are
happy if they feel that they have a good quality of life. This may include having a
good standard of living, feeling safe and secure, or living in a society that provides
basic healthcare for all.
Is it possible to measure happiness? Researchers at the World Database of Happiness
think so. The database (2005–2014) brings together scientific reports on happiness
from 158 countries around the world. The researchers asked people to rate their
enjoyment of life on a scale from 0 to 10. The top six happiest nations are shown
here. Oman (18th) is the happiest country in the Middle East. The happiest Asian
countries—the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore—placed 39th, 42nd, and 43rd.

The Courts of Jamshyd
By ROBERT F. YOUNG
Once, Ryan knew, dogs had

run with man, not from him....

They say the Lion and the

The Courts where Jamshyd
gloried and drank deep—
—The Rubáiyát
The dust-reddened sun was low in the west when the tribe filed
down from the fissured foothills to the sea. The women spread out
along the beach to gather driftwood, while the men took over the
task of setting up the rain-catch.
Ryan could tell from the haggard faces around him that there would
be a dance that night. He knew his own face must be haggard too,
haggard and grimed with dust, the cheeks caved in, the eyes dark
with hunger-shadows. The dogless days had been many this time.
The rain-catch was a crazy quiltwork pattern of dogskins laboriously
sewn together into a makeshift tarpaulin. Ryan and the other young
men held it aloft while the older men set up the poles and tied the
dog-gut strings, letting the tarp sag in the middle so that when it
rained the precious water would accumulate in the depression.
When the job was done, the men went down to the beach and stood
around the big fire the women had built.
Ryan's legs ached from the long trek through the hill country and his
shoulders were sore from packing the dogskin tarp over the last five
miles. Sometimes he wished he was the oldest man in the tribe
instead of the youngest: then he would be free from the heavy work,
free to shamble along in the rear on marches; free to sit on his
haunches during stopovers while the younger men took care of the
hunting and the love-making.
He stood with his back to the fire, letting the heat penetrate his
dogskin clothing and warm his flesh. Nearby, the women were
preparing the evening meal, mashing the day's harvest of tubers into
a thick pulp, adding water sparingly from their dogskin waterbags.
Ryan glimpsed Merium out of the corner of his eye, but the sight of
her thin young face and shapely body did not stir his blood at all, and
he turned his eyes miserably away.
He remembered how he had felt about her at the time of the last dog
kill—how he had lain beside her before the roaring fire, the aroma of
roasted dog flesh still lingering in the night air. His belly had been full
and he had lain beside her half the night, and he had almost wanted
her. She had seemed beautiful then, and for many days afterward;
but gradually her beauty had faded away and she had become just
another drab face, another listless figure stumbling along with the
rest of the tribe, from oasis to oasis, from ruin to ruin, in the eternal
search for food.
Ryan shook his head. He could not understand it. But there were so
many things that he could not understand. The Dance, for instance.
Why should the mouthing of mere words to the accompaniment of
rhythmic movements give him pleasure? How could hatred make
him strong?
He shook his head again. In a way, the Dance was the biggest
mystery of all....
Merium brought him his supper, looking up at him shyly with her
large brown eyes. Illogically, Ryan was reminded of the last dog he
had killed and he jerked the earthen pot out of her hands and walked
down to the water's edge to eat alone.
The sun had set. Streaks of gold and crimson quivered in the wind-
creased water, slowly faded away. Darkness crept down from the
gullied foothills to the beach, and with it came the first cold breath of
night.
Ryan shivered. He tried to concentrate on his food, but the memory
of the dog would not go away.
It had been a small dog, but a very vicious one. It had bared its teeth
when at last he had cornered it in the little rocky cul-de-sac in the
mountains, and as further evidence of its viciousness, it had wagged
its ridiculous tail. Ryan could still remember the high-pitched sound
of its growl—or was it a whine?—when he advanced on it with his
club; but most of all he remembered the way its eyes had been when
he brought the club down on its head.
He tried to free himself from the memory, tried to enjoy his tasteless
meal. But he went right on remembering. He remembered all the
other dogs he had killed and he wondered why killing them should
bother him so. Once, he knew, dogs had run with the hunters, not
from them; but that was long before his time—when there had been
something else besides dogs to hunt.
Now it was different. Now it was dogs—or death....
He finished his meatless stew, swallowing the last mouthful grimly.
He heard a soft step behind him, but he did not turn around.
Presently Merium sat down beside him.
The sea glinted palely in the light of the first stars.
"It's beautiful tonight," Merium said.
Ryan was silent.
"Will there be a dance?" she asked.
"Maybe."
"I hope there is."
"Why?"
"I—I don't know. Because everyone's so different afterwards, I
suppose—so happy, almost."
Ryan looked at her. Starlight lay gently on her child-like face, hiding
the thinness of her cheeks, softening the hunger-shadows beneath
her eyes. Again he remembered the night he had almost wanted her
and he wanted it to be the same again, only all the way this time. He
wanted to want to take her in his arms and kiss her lips and hold her
tightly to him, and when desire refused to rise in him, shame took its
place, and because he couldn't understand the shame, he
supplanted it with anger.
"Men have no happiness!" he said savagely.
"They did once—a long time ago."
"You listen too much to the old women's tales."
"I like to listen to them. I like to hear of the time when the ruins were
living cities and the earth was green—when there was an abundance
of food and water for everyone.... Surely you believe there was such
a time. The words of the Dance—"
"I don't know," Ryan said. "Sometimes I think the words of the Dance
are lies."
Merium shook her head. "No. The words of the Dance are wisdom.
Without them we could not live."
"You talk like an old woman yourself!" Ryan said. Abruptly he stood
up. "You are an old woman. An ugly old woman!" He strode across
the sand to the fire, leaving her alone by the water.
The tribe had broken up into groups. The old men huddled together
in one group, the younger men in another. The women sat by
themselves near the wavering perimeter of the firelight, crooning an
ancient melody, exchanging an occasional word in low tones.
Ryan stood by the fire alone. He was the youngest male of the tribe.
He and Merium had been the last children to be born. The tribe had
numbered in the hundreds then, and the hunting had been good, the
dogs still tame and easy to find. There had been other tribes too,
wandering over the dust-veiled land. Ryan wondered what had
become of them. But he only pretended to wonder. In his heart, he
knew.
It was growing colder. He added more driftwood to the fire and
watched the flames gorge themselves. Flames were like men, he
thought. They ate everything there was in sight, and when there was
nothing more to eat, they died.
Suddenly a drum throbbed out and a woman's voice chanted: "What

is a tree?"
A voice answered from the group of old men: "A tree is a green
dream."
"What has become of the living land?"
"The living land is dust!"
The drum beat grew louder. Ryan's throat tightened. He felt the
refreshing warmth of anger touch his face. The opening phase of the
Dance always affected him, even when he was expecting it.
One of the old men was moving out into the firelight, shuffling his
feet to the beat of the drum. The light reddened the wrinkles on his
thirty-year-old face, made a crimson washboard of his forehead. His
thin voice drifted on the cold night air:
"The living land is dust, and those

who turned it into dust
are dust themselves—"
A woman's voice took up the chant:
"Our ancestors are dust:

dust are our gorged ancestors—"
There were other figures shuffling in the firelight now, and the beat
on the dogskin drum head was sharper, stronger. Ryan felt the
quickening of his blood, the surge of new-born energy.
Voices blended:
"Dust are our gorged ancestors,

our ancestors who raped the
fields and ravished the hills,
who cut the forest chains and
set the rivers free;
our ancestors who drank deep
from the well of the world
and left the well dry—"
Ryan could contain himself no longer. He felt his own feet moving
with the vindictive beat of the drum. He heard his own voice take up
the chant:
"Let us take the memory of our ancestors

and tear it open, rend its vitals,
throw its entrails on the fire:
our ancestors, the eaters,
the putrefiers of the lakes and the rivers;
the consumers, the destroyers, the murderers of the living
land;
the selfish, the obese, the great collectors,
who tried to devour the world—"
He joined the stomping mass of the tribe, his hands going through
the mimic motions of killing, rending, throwing. Strength flowed into
his emaciated limbs, pulsed through his undernourished body. He
glimpsed Merium across the fire and he caught his breath at the
beauty of her animated face. Again he almost wanted her, and for a
while he was able to convince himself that some day he would want
her; that this time the effect of the Dance would not wear off the way
it always had before and he would go on feeling strong and confident
and unafraid and find many dogs to feed the tribe; then, perhaps, the
men would want the women the way they used to, and he would
want Merium, and the tribe would increase and become great and
strong—
He raised his voice higher and stomped his feet as hard as he could.
The hatred was like wine now, gushing hotly through his body,
throbbing wildly in his brain. The chant crescendoed into a huge
hysterical wail, a bitter accusation reverberating over the barren hills
and the dead sea, riding the dust-laden wind—
"Our ancestors were pigs!

Our ancestors were pigs!..."

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
To protect the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting the

free distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this
work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase
“Project Gutenberg”), you agree to comply with all the terms of
the Full Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or
online at www.gutenberg.org/license.
Section 1. General Terms of Use and

Redistributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works
1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™
electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand,
agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual
property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to
abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using
and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for
obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg™
electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms
of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only

be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by
people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.
There are a few things that you can do with most Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works even without complying with the
full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There
are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg™
electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and
help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™
electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the
collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the
individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the
United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright
law in the United States and you are located in the United
States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,
distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works
based on the work as long as all references to Project
Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will
support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free
access to electronic works by freely sharing Project
Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this
agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name
associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms
of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with
its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it
without charge with others.
1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also
govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most
countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside
the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to
the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying,
displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works
based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The
Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright
status of any work in any country other than the United States.
1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project

Gutenberg:
1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other

immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must
appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project
Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed,
viewed, copied or distributed:
This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United

States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with
almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it
away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg
License included with this eBook or online at
www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United
States, you will have to check the laws of the country where
you are located before using this eBook.
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is

derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to
anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges.
If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the
work, you must comply either with the requirements of
paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use
of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth
in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is

posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and
distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through
1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder.
Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™
License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright
holder found at the beginning of this work.
1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project

Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files
containing a part of this work or any other work associated with
Project Gutenberg™.
1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute
this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1
with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the
Project Gutenberg™ License.
1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form,
including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if
you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project
Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or
other format used in the official version posted on the official
Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at
no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a
means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other
form. Any alternate format must include the full Project
Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,

performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™
works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or

providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works provided that:
• You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the
method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The
fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,
but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty
payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on
which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your
periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked
as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information
about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation.”
• You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that
s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™
License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and
discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project
Gutenberg™ works.
• You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in
the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90
days of receipt of the work.
• You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.
1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different
terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain
permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™
trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3
below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite
these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,”
such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt
data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other
