Less happiness, because we are purposeless

In 1957, 52% of people in a Uk survey said that they were happy, compared to 36% in 2005. Despite the fact that the British have tripled their wealth over the last half century, they are not feeling emotionally better.

This may be connected with this study: In 1968, college freshmen in Us were asked what their personal goals were. 41% wanted to make a lot of money, and 83% wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. In a similar study made in 1997, values had changed. 75% of college freshmen then said their goal was to be very well off financially, and only 41% wanted to develop a meaningful philosophy of life.

When you don´t live for anything else than to earn cash, life will not be meaningful. In our materialistic world we seem to have forgot to connect with our soul; we eat gourmet food but think junk thoughts.
