Really mad? That's a reach. I'm not cursing or anything. Upset maybe and that's only after people commented that I'm wrong. I'm not.

And it's not about marriage itself. It's the concept of life. It's about survival and not being happy. Marriage is just apart of that and happens to be the subject here.

We need someone to spend our lives with and to have children with. That is usually associated with marriage.

I mean I did say “seemed.”

I disagree but I’m not fit to have children and I don’t really care about others or like continuing the human race or like those kinds of “responsibilities” in general. So that’s my take on that.

Also I’m pretty sure we can just make humans and raise them without marriages. I mean how long has marriages even been a thing? (Don’t answer this question, I don’t actually care.)

If you're not fit you're not fit. Nothing wrong with that

I'm not saying you NEED to be married. I don't care for a piece of paper. I said it's just usually associated with having a significant other and raising children.

My argument is that life is about survival and NOT happiness. Now can you pursue happiness while surviving? Of course. But it should not be your first priority. Older generations knew and understood that.

Modern generations don't. Finding happiness is pushed from birth so it's pretty disappointing when they find out that it's only about survival. Then comes depression.

I’d honestly argue that modern generations aren’t so different and I don’t think as many are looking for happiness as you claim either. But then again all I have is anecdotes.

Also I wonder if what you said is true. I mean can we prove it? What older generations specifically would your claim apply to? Don’t feel like you need to answer these questions. I just think we spend too much time talking about this and that generation and painting so broadly.

We can look at suicide, depression, and anxiety rates.

Things started to change in the 60s but only really started to affect us in the 90s early 2000s.

No problem. I don't mind.

I mean the current internet is a sales and advertising machine meant to keep people addicted anyway it can. Rage, doom, and more. I just think that while things are fucked up. We’re no better or worse then before. We’re just like stupid people made of mostly water and we can like travel by explosions. It’s not so bad even if we all also suck.

I disagree. Modern society is almost completely dependent on the Internet. That's dangerous.

Older generations could survive easily. They could farm, hunt, fish ect.

The internet has made survival seem easier so happiness is the priority. People just don't realize how fragile it is.
