Is our generation unhappy?
The question actually speaks a bit of it. Okay, let’s not go on that. The internet seems to populated by quotes and captions describing, how unhappy people are. May, they actually are. Why? Why our generation is so unhappy?
I should say, the reason that tops the chart is “us”. Yeah, believe me, if you are going through such a phase, “I ain’t happy with my life”. You should consider, what I just said, I mean if it ain’t you monetary debt or maybe can’t get your junk up. One simple thing is, “If you wanna be happy. You gotta be happy”. Anyway, when was the last time you woke up, did the morning chores, walk up for work, did a bit of exercise, have food and retire to bed — have only these things in your schedule?
The answer would definitely be, never. Because, the above thing I said, is a total escape from our routine- Call that a rehab? Even, right now, I am checking my emails and writing in here. Call that a multi-tasker or a jerk maybe? I am blaming me for not having a continuous focus on what I am doing. All of my focus is discretely being distributed on writing, thinking of good words, checking out what that mail says.
Okay, again. When was the last time you thought, OMG! That guy/girl’s feed looks so cool. Yeah, because the last time you checked your Instagram, all the wanderers, travel souls, miracle folks were putting out their best on social media. This may seem quite okay for the fact that everyone wants their best form on the Internet. But, the problem is you. You, for the fact that “It would have been so fun, if I were in their place” mindset, you are having, Lemme check how many likes I got on that picture? Or, is she online? This puts up a domino effect in our mind, which in turn results to “low self-esteem”. And we regard this as being, “Shy” to create an impression amongst the mass of being worthy. But, there’s a card to it too. I have often seen posts where people tell themselves that they are a piece of shit or are of no use probably. It would be a lie if I tell that I haven’t felt that ever. I have, and almost every one of this gen has too. But, a motivation or too is never far away keeping in mind, how close we keep our smartphone babies.
One of the foremost problems lies in the fact, how hard we push ourselves. No, it’s good to push, but we should keep in our mind to pull at times too. ( Okay guys. Hand’s up! ) The reason our generation is so unhappy is not on individuals but on the mass. The mass hysteria, we find ourselves in where we find ourselves in sort of a race. Indeed life is a race, but one thing I learned while actual running is to take necessary breaks and keep the pace with it. But, in real life, taking a break simply means to get cushioned over. This is what results in us getting stressed out, anxious, and “depressed”. What’s, even more, worse, that we cant channelize it. neither through our words nor by our actions. The real connection between human species is deteriorating that too in the age where the world is one Globalized village.
Probably the last time, humans were happy. They would wake up, go for hunting, played battles among tribes, had a lot of sex, again a bit of sex, a bit more of cuddle and tried to prevent themselves from dying. There were famines, hysteria about which gods to please and maybe yes the problem of finding a mate to spend ahead times. Life was hard, back then too. Maybe a bit harder. But, little they had to overthink about, taxes, uploading a beach pic or maybe wearing this or that apparel. It was easier to be happy. It was simple, it was cool.
The context is with our generation, but not to forget every generation have had their set of problems. They solved it. They moved ahead.
But, Here you are sitting with the buzzing on your phone checking out this answer and thinking, Oh! I can’t relate many of it, so maybe none of this would make complete sense. Because the universe is in no compliance to make sense to you.
One thing for sure, the changes in today’s times is a rigged platform. So rigged that, It will make you kneel down on your knees and make you sadder, more unhappy, more anxious. But the question is, Will you?
