How can you determine if a town is a happy place? Look for trust.
A man bought a dozen eggs at a farm stand in Massachusetts. A cash payment was dropped inside an honor box.
On Sundays in Salt Lake City, conductors don't ride on local trains. Nobody collects fares. A passenger could board a train without paying. Yet people still buy tickets at a self serve kiosk. An honor system prevails.
At a self service gas station in my town, customers fill their tanks without paying in advance.
Where people are trusted, it's safe to assume that most people are happy.
