      If that’s true, which I question very much as the pressures of modern society are significantly more encompassing than in the past, that only means we’ve been doing it wrong the whole time.

        they aren’t. people just say that to feel good.

        living life as a european peasant was less burden some, in that you died by 30-35, and only 1/2 children survived past 5 years old.

        or maybe you’d rather be working 10 hours a day in a factory from the age of 10, losing your limbs in an accident, and being a begger the rest of your life? that was life for many pre ww1
