I think you are correct - and I agree with some others who say people don’t appreciate what they have - this is especially prevalent in the western countries where many people have far more than both their entire ansestry had or indeed many millions or billions across the world.
i think we all need to evaluate our luck each day and also remember times when perhaps we were struggling or in great pain - and celebrate that perhaps today or this moment we are in a better place.
I also agree that screens and constant images and videos of idiots online sharing their often fake news about their material wealth , holidays and achievements doesn’t help. Do we constantly need to see their achievements or can that be communicated over a coffee with a freind rather than broadcasted to hundreds or thousands of people.if you are feeling sad image your life as someone else in a difficult situation , or country or in pain. Think of their perspective both to show love to them but also to remind yourself it could be far worse …

I think there are a lot more very sad people in the world.
The reason is they're having their homes destroyed, their loved ones killed, they're cold becausethey're homeless, and they're going hungry through a lack of available food.
Amazingly we going around the moon, but we still can't live peacefully with one another.

I can't comment on family and friends but they seem happy enough.
Me?
I'm happy, fit and healthy, with no problems in my life, I don't have a partner, though that could be a blessing if it had been the wrong person.
At present I'm sat in the sun, life is wonderful.
If there was anyone sad in my life, hopefully I could help in some way, and put a smile on their face 🙂 - 3 mo

3 moOne reason for that We're all like spoiled children even if we are grown. The cat saw its own bottom and said, 'What a big sore I have!', We are like this cat. I dont know exactly being grateful really. people used to knew how to be happy. Musics used to good. Now songs became crazy. People as well. we’ve all turned into spoiled children. Something should heal us... So I mean is people not awere of something good in their life (I think Social media has a big influence on this.)
Besides that Second reasion more people sad lately , because people dont like themselves. If they loved themselves enough to prefer making themselves happy rather than leaving themselves in a sad state , they would always find a way to be happy. People don't do it because they don't think they deserve it. Social media has a big influence on this.
Third reasion is Society is becoming increasingly selfish. Iinternet has a big influence to us. That's the anoter problem. Evil things exist in social media. Bad people bother good people in internet. Sometimes Very valueable people in real life are given less value in internet but to worthless people are given more value i internet. Societies are decaying. Social media has a big influence on this. The devil is winning. Bravo, devil!
Despite everything I belive everything can change with internet If we use that in a good way. Because if you notice after internet world got worse. Because we couldnt use internet in a good way. If one day internet only being used in a good way then the world would turn into a good word.
I blameee internet which in a bad way, for EVERYTHİNG.

I have never been on any social media sites ever except for GaG.
And I chose not to go on them because I like my mind and my way of thinking to stay in tact just the way that 'I' want it to be!
I blame social media sites as well!!
490 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic. To be honest Sage it's a good thing. Because that means people are going to have to deal with it and the people who deal with it are the strong ones the one that are starting to wake up and then they have to question themselves and ask why and then they will start pushing themselves and wake up even more
That's when it will start to cometo them who we really are and the power they have within themselves and then they will stat questioning that
That when they will stand up even taller and see how bad we are all being manipulated into acting like a little sheep and follow the leaders that are going to take us into a hell it's going to be hard for us to get out of but the more people that wake up the more we Unite the more we will not let it happen it's not meant to happen
We are God's people We are not The elite Or the rich People that own the world We are not going to become their slaves We're not going to become anything to them We will override this we will overtake this because That's who we are as God's people
And once you realize that God is in with each and every single one of us we have strength Like We Never known we had it will come through us all and we will Unite
God has a plan for us all but we have to stand up for ourselves there's only one God and it's not a bunch of rich men to think that they can control us by giving us fake food taken away our money our self-discipline
And all their little brainwashes that they're putting on us we are much stronger than this but in order for us all to come together we have to go through the sadness first to understand what's really happening this is one of the best questions I've seen on here in a long time because it is a wake up call11 Reply
3 moIn general (not talking about your friends) people are less happy today because they don’t appreciate what they have. Social media shows people with wealth who honestly haven’t worked for it. It makes people who see this wonder why not me? Hollywood also shows romance in a light that’s not real. Life isn’t like the fairy tails we see on the screen. So many are disappointed because their lives aren’t like what they were lead to believe it should be.
My ex-wife really thought she was a princess and wouldn’t have to work in this world. She stayed home while I worked two jobs, in between jobs I came home and made dinner. This went on for years….. then she complained that she didn’t have enough money to live to the standards that she wanted. 3 kids later and she finally left unhappy with her status in the world. She left the kids with me because they would cost too much and would interfere with her princess status.
Needless to say she never found the happy life she thought she deserved.
We reap what we sow. Happiness isn’t given, it comes from the rewards of hard work. People now days don’t understand that. They want other things or other people to make them happy.20 Reply- 1.3K opinions shared on Family & Friends topic.
3 moThe democrats are pissed because they're dictators have brainwashed them into believing that Trump's bad and someone to hate, even though not a single one of them can come up with a reason why!
And the republicans are pissed because they're sick and tired of hearing the insanity of the loony lefties ranting about Trump OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! The SAME pedantic bullshit EVERY DAY, 24/7!!! I'm SURE that, every time they get up to pee in the middle of the night, they start ranting right where they left of when they fell asleep and they probably rant all right long in their dreams, too!! It just NEVER STOPS!!!14 Reply- 3 mo

u 3 moaround me, no... not really, things are about the same... there's good times and bad times, but that's the usual
on socials? here at G@G? well, I don't really use socials so my perception about that is very very limited
as for the "general feel" of the internet, and if I take that portion of perception as "how people are doing nowadays" well... in that case, things can seem very negative, dreadful, sad, and all kinds of bad things because yeah... those are times nowadays
shame is no more... and there's an all out, drive for nonsense and senseless as well20 Reply Some people that I know complain about everything. It's their whole personality. They see the cup as half empty no. matter what.

True 😊
3 moYes there certainly are. The reason? The world we love that has based everything on keeping up appearances and who is richer than who.
