It’s believed that people were very joyful in earlier times as compared to the present time. I totally agree that in former times people were more delightful as they believed in simplicity with less expectation.
In the past life was so simple without any competition, there were no complications and stress amongst the people. So they had time for leisure, hobbies and many more. They found happiness in simple things and enjoyed it. For example, in earlier times grandmother used to tell stories to the kids and they find it very amazing. Listening to the story is a pleasure and enjoyable.
They believe in strong connections between people. Socializing with their family, friends and neighbors, which gives them happiness. Creating a bond, meeting them, spending quality time and enjoying every festival together. They don’t have any kind of jealousy or comparison. For example, celebrating festivals and meeting people, visiting their homes and eating sweets, which was a really blissful feeling for them.
In the present time, lifestyle has been improved. People like to focus more on their personal growth, improving themselves and pursuing their career which gives them happiness. Moreover, doing various activities like painting, dancing, traveling and many more. Which helps them with their stress and makes them a happier person. Meanwhile with the help of social media they are connected with their loved ones.
In conclusion, earlier life was so simple, with no competition. People don’t compare themselves with others. They accept and adapt things and live life with happiness. But it is not denied that now lifestyle has been much better with lots of opportunity,
