happiness?

i was in the bus, a lot of Indians were there. I went back from a hang out, bday drinking party for his friend's bday and bar closing drinking day. Well, just suddenly thinking, now this Caucasian guy, is around 52-53 i suppose. He is my boss in the company im interning currently. He was just married 2-3 years ago with a Singaporean lady, whom i suppose like not to have kids. No kids in their marriage so far, from his story, every couple of months, he'll just take his wife for a vacation elsewhere. which i think, lovely!
Meanwhile, in the bus, i saw Indians, maybe around 23-40 years old max, they are coolies. After work, they are going home, along with their phones, they started to listen to the music, messaging, calling, and so on. I just wander, hey, maybe some of them working so hard here to make their family alive, or to make their kids keep studying. live has never been "good" in my context for them. or for people who are in such a young age, make themselves prepare for marriage a couple of years later.

wow. life is just so far different.
Asians, career minded, even my parents, they married pretty late, 26 to 28, having me at the age of 30, which are considered a bit late compared to the ones in rural areas, they married and having kids might be in a younger age, some of them even in the age of 16 and having kids a year later, which is 17. Which i think, omg! my age 3 years ago with kids??! Meanwhile, Caucasian,  they just got married age around maybe 30+ or later? sort of?
Marriage and kids as the measurement of happiness? or just a peer pressure? i dont really know..

Let's say its for happiness which is such an unmeasured word. For some, they said, have kids, for some, no kids. For some Godly lives, some others, no God, i do things for my own. and so on and so on. But whatever it is, nobody wants to feel the opposite.

some random maybe useless thoughts.
