Chasing happiness is one thing but telling people that not having a family is ok is another. Watch depression rates rocket when all the childless people grow old and have no one in their life.
Where there's happiness, there's sadness. Because opposites are everywhere, and it's all a matter of balance. We learn about a balanced diet since childhood at school, likewise the same applies to life - a balance of all leads to a happy life. :)
@@taureansun1501 good luck with that when you've spent your old age with no one and end up lying in a care home with no visitors until you die. Sounds like a nice life.
@@sh-hg4eg you seem not to understand that not everyone is like you. I don't hate being around people I just happen to find being alone peaceful and nice. I have a family and many friends and I love them but I am at my happiest when I am alone it's just that simple.
I reckon that most couple should have children. They will be the most integral factor consolidating and remaining the relationship between husband and wife. I do not say that everyone MUST has cuz somebody hate children;however, children can help a relationship to be much closer and stronger.
It's literally the purpose of life. It's no coincidence that depression rates are higher in elderly people with no family or offspring. Literally spending the last years of your life alone... Terrible advice.
@@sh-hg4eg @3DSgeek - I see your point, but why "hate the BBC" or label it a "terrible advice"? They don't tell you not to have children, they tell you children as such are no guarantee for happiness. They tell you to think before you decide to have children - and when I (mothering four of my own kids) look around, I think a lot of people should think it over twice. There are so many children who are not directly abused or neglected, but silently ignored by their parents. Provided with food and clothes, but no meaningful relationship. It's really saddening. And then there are people like hermits who consciously choose a life alone. I don't think they are doomed to depression as they get old. I believe having a family is a tremendous adventure, and as 3SDgeek said: " It's meant to be hard, it will make you better person.". But I also believe that there are many other ways to grow, and many other adventures in life.
Assuming that older people who are single are also sad is ridiculous. You're judging outer appearances. Do you know every single old person in the world? Have you asked them all about their unique life experiences? You might assume that the old lady down the street that lives alone and sits on her porch during the day is sad 😂 But what you don't know is that that old lady has a rich social life and things that make her happy. It's not about you. Not everything is about you. Stop placing your "life filter" onto everyone else because it does not fit.
Perheps the very idea of happiness is flawed or an inborn error in us . As sophenhour once put it : There is only one inborn error, and that is the notion that we exist in order to be happy... ... For at every step, in things great and small, we are bound to experience that the world and life are certainly not arranged for the purpose of maintaining a happy existence. In other word , whatever happens in life must be accepted without any conditions , it is the summon bonoum of highest living
I don't think I agree... we all want to be satisfied or fulfilled; a kind of happiness. Happiness branches all over the place in life with many varieties.
For some people - yes, for sure. But not for everyone. Think of monks or even hermits. But then, it dependens on how you define "family". For monks, everyone is "a brother" or "a sister", and hermits will call God their father...

Balance is everything in life. And by balance i don't mean 50:50. I mean "just enough" of everything
Nothing and all things assembled will make you happy unless you're already happy with what you have it's something we call contentment.
Contentment is great gain. Chasing happiness likely to make us unhappy. Gratitude is a must.
Chasing happiness is one thing but telling people that not having a family is ok is another. Watch depression rates rocket when all the childless people grow old and have no one in their life.

No music please

You can tell this guy knows a thing or two about happiness. You can see it in his face.
Lol he's seen it all
Thanks for this video! I couldn't agree more!
As usual wonderful! BBC, thanks
Being alone makes me happy.
Really?
No it doesn't.
@@sh-hg4eg that is you and that is ohk, but I like some others are happiest when alone.

i looove this video! thanks
This channel helped me a lot nowadays I am making my reports on international affairs I wish I could become a part of BBC
Happiness is just a state of mind. We can find happiness our job as well as in our conversation. It is upto you how you find it.
HAPPINESS is not a destination it is a way.....
a very interesting video.. thanks...
" getting married can make some people happy some of the time, bit not all of the people all of the time." Wow, that's very deep and insightful
😂

Oh my God. I couldn't disagree more... Lol
Another Common Purpose video by the BBC .
Your presentation and delivery is so good. And obviously the radical content and ideas too. I wish you get a lot more viewers in 2021
Thank you so much for the positive feedback 😊
Don't agree with 1 3.4. And 5.
2 I buy it
"Be Equanimous" at any given point of time.
We know this.
So basically what makes us happy or sad this is actually myth. It's upto us that what we want to choose.
BBC shaped ideology, every single video and each moment of it I behold with keen attention....
Imagine buying your "ideology" from a government propaganda arm.
BBC Ideas make me happy and it's not a myth
Nice 👍🏽 Glasses 🤓
Awesome and professional
🕊✝️🕊
Greetings ....thank u for sharing BBC
Thanks very much for watching!
You are wonderful as usual.. Thanks so much.
So we should aspire to be like Bridget Jones (the 1st movie, not the sequels)
I think being happy and grateful doesn't come on it's own. It comes from our willingness to learn from the past.

Was about to watch this but watched BBC's "How to Smash Distractions" vid
😍
So much truth in such a short video. Loved that ❤🔥
Excellent - so happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Don’t engage in miscegenation.
👍
Being married and having children is amazing. It's meant to be hard, it will make you better person. I hate the BBC.

I disagree with this video.
All based off of opinions, not facts.

only 10-15 percent what the guy said is true
He talks of the love Islam recommends: companionship. Marriage.
Of 9 year old girls right...
With more than 1 wife right

👍👍
The idea that your life revolves around chasing a single emotion is flawed, yes. The BBC are pushing very shallow and harmful ideas here.
I don't think I agree... we all want to be satisfied or fulfilled; a kind of happiness. Happiness branches all over the place in life with many varieties.
You can enjoy your happiness if you have no children, but it ends earlier than others' .
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
This video is awful.
@@henryhunter1773 yep same old propaganda
Having a family is the only way to true happiness.
For some people - yes, for sure. But not for everyone. Think of monks or even hermits. But then, it dependens on how you define "family". For monks, everyone is "a brother" or "a sister", and hermits will call God their father...
