I recently watched a documentary about the "stress" that human beings (both males and females) are presently undergoing. It was said that everybody is facing huge psychological challenges in order to meet all the requirements they believe they have to meet, such as: being a success in society, being able to provide for their families, being good partners/parents etc. All this - "now" - is creating an awful lot of pressure that, in turn, makes life difficult and complicated. Well, while listening to what the psychologists were saying, I couldn't help thinking that my own parents (a long-gone generation) were providing for their family, were excellent partners/parents and, in spite of the "normal" daily challenges, had been able to create a good life - without all the stress that modern society seems to be plagued by. Is this the price to be paid for "progress"? And, most of all, is it worth it?
