Happiest at 74 ?


According to a recent study, Germans and Brits are happiest when they reach the age of 74. Happiness feelings decrease from teenage with a lowest point at 40. From that time upwards again. Makes sense in fact. Because our responsibilities increase from when we are teenagers until we have families. In Germany , just yesterday, three twenty year old guys committed suicide together. They saw it all coming. The pressure. So I wonder what these academics were really thinking they would find ? Money and time wasted. But that is their problem. These facts however just drew my attention to the fact the a lot of us are NEVER really happy. Because reaching the age of 74 is not something we all achieve. The average life expectancy in certain parts of the world is much lower than that. So what to do ? On the one side we can try to live a sober and careful life. To be fit when we reach 74. But that will just increase the fact that we don't feel happy. Or we opt for behaving irresponsible and kiddish all our lives. So that at least when we pass on to the other side , we had all the fun. That's what I will do. From today onwards. Yeah !
