are we happy than our forefathers>??

[hemangi_ingale]

well, its difficult to answer this because happiness is a relative term. if someone thinks in materialistic terms then we are happier but if we think in terms of what all seem to discuss above them we are certainly not happy since we don't have the stress free life, happiness in little things and being content.

yes i really agree with neha we are in dilemma. As i am doing MBA after daily lectures i have surf net, watch biz on tv, check sms(biz groups) and even read newspaper and magazine....

we are now doing multitasking. people who donot copeup with it end into stress

[mustafa346]

its a hard question but in my opion we have more opportunities to enjoy now..there are so many things to do in our leisure times to enjoy.

happiness is subjective.. as a collective whole maybe we are not.. but individually it depends.

[HARSHA6183]

not really,stress has always been there, but there has been changes in difficulties thru ages, life wasnt hectic then but it is, medicine was primitive and nw advanced,every age has its difficulties

Umm.. I doubt..but have to say that happiness depends on one's inness than generation..

So, are you happy? Are you truly content? Or are there many things that you wish you could change? Do you wish you had a better job? A better girlfriend or boyfriend, wife or husband? A better place to live? A nicer car? Are there other changes you anticipate in your life which should give you happiness after having accomplished or achieved them?

Let's face it, if you are still hoping for happiness, it means you don't have it. Sure, sure, maybe things are OK and not too bad. Maybe you need to appreciate what you have more than you do. We all need to do that. Yet, maybe you are still hoping for improvements, substantial changes. However, just trying to be satisfied with what we already have doesn't mean we have to stagnate, or merely act like everything is just fine. And if you haven't found the spontaneous or self-sufficient happiness that you would like by now, maybe you do not know where to find it. So where are we supposed to look?

[deepakraam]

I think its a question to be generalised.Happiness to individuals mean diff things when comparing between 2 generations we can't say for sure.I'm afraid we will end with one answer.

i accept the fact that we have lost the slow paced life but i feel at that time even dey must be feeling that their forefathers are much happier than them

[armin]
