Bestie….those “complaints” r necessary. This post is about habitually pessimistic ppl that always find something wrong or to complain about. How ppl r quick to find a complaint but those same ppl have a hard time finding a positive outlook and things to be grateful for. Hope this helps

Humans work more of their lives today in 2022 than we did at any point in the past. Progression has led to more work, less freedom, less freedom and more laws and more prison time than in the past. The old man isn't making things better but he isn't making things worse, the young lad who wants a fishing empire contributes to making the World worse for 99% of people whilst improving it only for those so rich they have never had to worry about not being able to afford both rent And food.

I'd choose happiness for most humans over cars and smartphones any day.

He might be right. Look at orcas, top of the food chain, they have nothing to fear. They just swim around with all their friends and family as they eat yummy things, play games with their food and each other, sing, have sex and sleep. No stress, no bills, nothing but endless pleasure.

We are the top predators on land. We could have had the happy existence of orcas if we hadn't kept evolving. We only really needed spears and a group of us could take down even the biggest bear. But we just couldn't stop there.

Now we're stressed all day about bills, forced to spend most of our waking hours doing things we hate, we worry about what are neighbors will think if we skip mowing for a week or how we will pay back student loans after picking a major that was way too hard or is useless even if earned. We watch people live their lives on tiny screens because our own feel so meaningless. We retire and realize with horror that we are too tired and in too much pain to enjoy the freedom that we wasted our whole lives doing things we hate to get.

Are cars and telephones really better than happiness?
