Other than the age, What are the things that made us feel less happier, less in the moment, less energized and more depressed than the last decade? (lemm.ee)

For people born in 2000-2008.

I feel like there has really been a hidden apocalypse in the modern consumer era, exploitation era, the era that no longer cares about humanity or it's mental health.

From food to entertainment to supposed freedom to so called advancement of the society, we've only seen a steady and constant decline in the psychological and mental state of the society as a whole.

I can't help but notice how different were the things in 2007 or even 2015. The modernity and it's bells and whistles has really been hazardous.

I too am transitioning. Have cancelled my membership to many platforms Netflix, Spotify etc. And now i want to just buy one thing and soak it in and remember each of that when I'm old.

Effortlessness doesn't leave any print on your memory of whatever you achieve, nor does it give you that feeling of fulfillment when u get that thing yourself after doing much more effort than just tapping spotify.
