Are people more satisfied the way they lived and acheived in this modern era Vs village bound 19th century.?

Answer 1

People were more satisfied in the 19th century. Today, people earn more but are totally unsatisfied and unhappy. Money, Gadgets, inventions etc. the very things that could give satisfaction, is the root cause of all evil. People join the rat race, stress and live a dog's life, just for money and modernity. The quality of life also has deteriorated.

Answer 2

I prefer the 19th century, I'm single and I feel it was easier for a single person to make it on their own back then, then it is today. I like riding motorcycle all over the country and I use to be able to pick any spot and camp and move on, if I do that today, I'ld be chased off or shot. It was more family oriented back then and the employer valued the family as priority, today it's how much you can produce and you better to be at work on time regaurdless if your uncle was in an accident.
