| Bodhesatva said: And yet, all research indicates that people today are no more happy than people 20 years ago, 50 years, or more. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7336336.stm Absolutely every single piece of research I have ever seen -- ever -- indicates that we have not gotten happier as we have gotten richer, fatter and more comfortable. There are literally hundreds of studies done on this precise subject, and they have all reached effectively the same conclusion, in every one I've read. In other words, you are wrong. |
That is a very interesting point that I totally agree with. It has nothing to do with my comment of course, but it is interesting none the less. Happiness is not synonymous with fun. Having kids will make you very happy. Having kids will not always be fun. Being married can make you very happy. Being married is not always fun.
In other words, your links have nothing to do with what I said.
