Why do some people say that life in poverty was much happier than it is now?

In fact, life is still that life, but people have changed, and thoughts have changed. I think there are two reasons for this. The first is that the times are different; The second is transitional comparison.

In the past, it was due to the general environment. Every family has a tight life. What we have at our fingertips now was almost a luxury in those days.

There is one more reason. Now the younger generation, because they were born to see, are exposed to this good era, and they lack nothing. They don't have that transition and contrast, so they don't have much satisfaction with their current life.

In addition, the pressure of society, family and other aspects is relatively high, so modern people do not feel happy.

Personally, I think that the reason why people are tired is that they often hover between persistence and giving up, and they are undecided. There will always be something in life that we can remember, and there will be something that we have to give up. Giving up and persevering is an attitude that everyone has in the face of life problems.

The courage to give up is a kind of atmosphere, and the courage to insist is not a kind of courage. If we can know how to make trade-offs, and we can stick to what we should insist on and give up what we should give up, how good it would be.

Although life is very poor, the family is very happy and sweet together, everyone has an idea in their hearts, and they are all selfless, so they are very happy.

In the past, although they were poor, their families would work together and struggle together, but now many people would rather be poor than work hard, becoming more and more lazy, always thinking about relying on other people, and not being with their families.

In the past, we were really happy when we were poor, many people around us could treat each other sincerely, the scenery around us was more beautiful than now, and it was really prosperous during the New Year.

In the eyes of ordinary people, most of the troubles now are caused by lack of money, if you have money all day long, yes, there are no troubles, and you have a happy life. But is that really the case? But many rich people still have a lot of troubles, and they will have unhappy times in their lives, why is that?

Why is it sometimes easier to attain spiritual happiness when you are poor?

Psychologists have concluded through research that people's happiness does not increase with the increase of materiality, and the happiness that individuals can experience is not determined by money and status, but by having harmonious intimate relationships. This intimate relationship can include husband and wife relationships, parent-child relationships, friend relationships, and so on.

We will find that if there is less chance of money being involved in a dry relationship, it will be easier to maintain a relationship. When you have been rich all day long, you may have a series of problems in the establishment of a relationship that will cause you distress. So sometimes, poverty brings less desire and trouble, and it is more able to build a harmonious and sincere relationship.

People are eager to become rich, so in a state of poverty, they will work hard for their inner needs, at this time there is a goal in front of them, in the process of chasing this goal, we may experience our own sense of worth and satisfaction, and then your heart will feel happy. On the contrary, when people are rich, they lose their goals and pursuits, and experience a kind of emptiness and loneliness in the spiritual world.

A person who feels lost will not feel happy. So it can be seen that when you are rich, you will also face some other problems, which may be more difficult.
