Nobody I ever knew was ever happy. All of them would say they were,
but their lives clearly showed otherwise. Addictions and fights
and divorces and unemployment and problems of literally every kind.
Yet they still long for those days.
As if in those days they were happier than they are now.
I think it's the opposite.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoThe 24-hour news cycle made everyone afraid, and with that even going outside dropped. Hard to say we’re happier now. But I believe people look for ways to be unhappy, no matter the situation.

Well, I had a pretty peaceful life without all that stuff you mentioned, and I think life was better before the internet. For sure. Now, I'm not saying we haven't improved a few things, but I think somewhere in the middle would be ideal: internet of the older days without so much commercialization and internet speeds around 56K modems.
