According to the article “Does happiness increase as
we get older?” was performed a survey to estimate when the happiness comes. Dr.
Arthur A. Stone was in charge of it and the people that were interviewed told
that the happiness comes with age. He shows that "It could be that there
are environmental changes, or it could be psychological changes about the way
we view the world, or it could even be biological.” This may refer to the
social factor or how the person appreciates his life affects their state of
happiness. Regularly society thinks that young people are the happiest for his
lack of concern and loads but in the survey, people around eighty years old
were found to be more satisfied with themselves than younger people. Some
possible reasons cited for this are: they have a deeper appreciation of the
value of life, fewer aspirations and expectations of themselves, the wisdom to
know they can't please everyone all the time, an inclination to see situations
more positively among others. Compared with other studies made it can be
noticed that the elderly remain happier, understanding that happiness increases
through the years, obviously if you got a positive attitude.
Although the
survey was made two years ago the results seem very reasonable because most
seniors are living with less stress. Young people with their studies and adults
with their jobs, responsibilities and stress are factors that could reduce
happiness in people. Violent crime seen by youth daily suggests that there is
no happiness in them. But not everything is negative; we need to understand
that youth is the energy that makes feel good our parents, grandparents and
loved ones. Perhaps the routine has forced us to forget how important it is to
feel good about ourselves, feel happiness and make others feel happy too. That
is why I invite you to live fully looking for things that make you feel good
because you are responsible of your happiness. Good vibes.
