the oldier, the happier ??? (47)
leostartingover: Hmmm, interesting lucynad... It's hard to generalise, because some people are unhappy no matter what age they are, but I definitely think as we get older (for me it was my 40s), you are better able to come to terms with who you are, where you are in your life and what you still want to achieve!!!
hello happy leo
(just teasing you knowing about your "scottish win")thanks..
yes, this is what is mainly stated: the acceptance of us and the world that surround us...
have a glorious christmas...and...january!

bestbefore: Plus 25 ontop of your figure Lucy and I have to say that I am the happiest I have been in years. I moved back to the U.K. after 7 years in Spain and even the atrocious weather conditions cannot dampen my spirits.
Life IS very much what you make it, and if you don't put anything in,you won't get much out.So a science report makes no difference to how I feel.

Got no time to be unhappy, to bust gathering rosebuds.... But it's true once you have got the problems of youth out of the way you have more space to enjoy.

lucynad: this thread is FOR OVER 46 YRS ONLY... (hello carlosweb )
what makes people happy?
the answer the scientists give to this question is composed of four factors:
1) gender (yeah...us wimin are generally happier )
2) personality (being prone to negative feelings like guit, anger and anxiety makes persons unhappy)
3) external circumstances (relationships, education, income and health)
4) age....here we go, finally getting older brings some assets...you loose mental sharpness and looks but...gain in what we are all persuing: happiness
no pain, no gain
it seems that older people are happier, no matter what...
they have fewer rows and come up with better solutions to life's problems...they are better at controlling their emotions, accepting misfortune...they live according to the saying "you can't please all the people all the time"...
sounds encouraging...
oh, well...this study was prepared by scientists, that are mostly men, which means that they will have their funny convinctions and will be extremelly serious about them (my dad is convinced that margarine is better than butter and no way you can explain to him that he is wrong )
this post was inpired by the article published on the Economist..if anyone is interested to learn more here is the link:
the number 46 refers to the statement made in the article according to which you start to be happy after your 46 birthday...

I was never unhappy for extended periods of time.
I don't feel any major change in that.
The trick is not to worry, things have a way to solv it self.
