Are we happier than our forefathers?

Happiness is very difficult to find in today’s busy world. We are so busy in making our careers that we have lost ourselves somewhere. We rather prefer to fake happiness on social media than to be happy. As time is passing, we are becoming more and more developed whether in the use of new technologies, education, or health facilities but the question is are we happier than our forefathers or ancestors? The answer is a big ‘No’.

Earlier people were less developed, and less educated but were much happier than the present generation. They used to be simple and nature lovers and were happy with every small thing. Those were the times when neighbors were like a family. They used to share their problems. People of different religions and castes used to celebrate each other's festivals and happiness. Those were the real happiness that we hardly see today. Humans have become robots today who have hardly any time to smile. This is sad but also a bitter truth of today's world.
