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.
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.
