How are people really feeling today?

I recently learned of a study showing how happy people are nowadays. The study started around 1972 and has continued until present day with over 50,000 participants. Every year people would be asked how happy they are and how they would really rate their lives. The study showed that since 1972 women have become much unhappier than men. Now at first I didn’t really understand this. There are lots of women that are beautiful, independent, opinionated people and have lots going for them. I was listening to a local radio station having a debate on the matter. They were debating if a woman having more options and responsibilities now than they did years ago is starting to overwhelm them. Forty or fifty years ago most women worked at home with the kids while husbands went off to work. Back then most women either choose a family life or a career life. It was you either are a stay at home mom or a teacher or nurse. Nowadays we see many women in the working world of all kinds of occupations that also take care of their children. There’s also the fact that in most homes moms usually are the ones that clean up around the house and cook even after working eight hours. Maybe the reason women are becoming unhappy is that they have no time to themselves. I know a lot of women that don’t want to stop something until they are completely finished with it. On the flip sides guys usually make time right in the middle of doing a job like cutting the grass. Perhaps it’s time that more women try to get away a bit or just chill out. I think the fact that women are part of the working world now they think that they have to do much more than they really have to. No one should ever feel like they have to work harder because of their gender, race, sexual orientation, religion and so on. So my suggestion to any woman, man, hermaphrodite, or even a transsexual with stress or unhappiness just get some time for you.

I hope to get lots or readers, comments, and subscribers and be sure to tell more people about my blog!!!
