Just Wondering. How Much Anxiety Do WE Put On Ourselves ? Why Do We Tend To Think Our Lives Won't Get Better When We Already Have So Much ?

I Was Watching A Show That Went To All Kinda Tribes That Still Exist Today. As They Visited These Tribes The One Thing I Found In Common Is Everybody Was Happy & Content !* Even Living On The Dirt & In Shacks Built With Thatched Roofs & Having To Fish & Hunt For Survival. [ no convenient or/ grocery stores / or delivery services ? nothing we take for granted whatsoever ]... I Thought To Myself, " Are We So Spoiled In Modern Society That We've Put Ourselves Into A State Of Anxiety & Fear ?"... I Thought, " Here I Am Surrounded By Modern Technology At My Fingertips Living In Fear & Anxiety, Wile These Folks Go To Sleep In The Darkness Of REAL Night Without Even Having Emergency Services If Needed, Sleeping Peacefully With No Anxieties At All".

Yet Here We Are. Thinking "Those Poor People". When In Reality ? "We" Are The One's That Are Really Poor. They Have What Every Life Strives For. Peace Contentment & Joy.... [ why are they so happy ? because nobody ever told them they were poor. makes you wonder if all the "rush" for technology was worth it ]

Are We Really So Spoiled That We've Made Ourselves Miserable ? & Forgot What Really Matters In Life ?

Just A Thought....

One would think technology woul make life easier. On the contrary, it increases the pace of life and makes it seem as though we are always on the go. So little downtime nowadays. I do think the fast pace of today's life contributes to my anxiety. I yearn for simpler times lol.
