I Don't Believe In Happiness Anymore...

[Timii]

I mean we can all agree that moments of happiness do exist but they tend to quickly go away. So many external factors can f*** up with your happiness that I can't understand people saying that the sense of life is being happy. For example, before noticing my hair loss I felt in control of my life. I had plans for the future and projects. It's been a year now since I realized that I was balding. It was hard and depressing, I started questioning my dreams , I spent much time in here in order to know what my options are. Eventually I got back on track and now my mood is not as gloomy as one year ago, but what depressing event is next now?
Happiness is just too fragile in my opinion. Back then before civilisation everything we cared about was surviving. We were surrounded by nature, we were physically active, no stupid influences from society. I'm pretty sure our ancestors had no time or need to ponder about happiness. They weren't sad either. They just did what came naturally to them. After the establishment of ancient civilizations humans began having more time. So we started to think about why we exist, what the purpose of our life is. This per se shows the misery of the modern human because no happy man needs to ask that . In conclusion I want to say that modern society can't allow real satisfaction with one's life because we lost that prehistorical lifestyle, just look today's depression rates to confirm this.

I like your stoic approach, but I think you wrong about prehistoric people. They had much more time on their hands than us as contemporary hunter gatherer societies exemplify.

One of the main reasons for suicide among all cultures is not poverty, or hardship (quite the contrary WW2 terror bombings reduced suicide rates) but social isolation/ ostracization and that danger is definetely greater than ever before.

You have too much time on your hands ? Lucky you, time is the most precious thing in the universe.

Biggest lie of mankind is that they made us think time is money, but with money you can't buy time

Well, let's put it this way: If I had to ask a prehistoric man if happiness is the purpose of life he wouldn't understand my question. Finding food after days, successfully hunting down a mammoth, these were the pursposes of life. The human body is wired to survive and not to watch Netflix.

is there a difference between satisfaction and happiness in english language? in my language there is a difference between them and i think its the same in the english language

anyways...happiness is indeed in most cases very short and fragile but satisfaction can be a longlasting feeling

thus try to enjoy the moment of happiness especially if you know it wont last forever...and try to find purpose in life to reach the feeling of satisfaction

and if you satisfied and busy with your life (purpose) hairloss wont be such a big problem for you anymore...

also protip...try to start a family before you start to bald...my father had 4 children, a wife and a house when he started balding and he recently told me hairloss was no problem for him

Who was the first species to introduce baldness into the world?! Surely he must be the most hated c*** ever. Hairloss serves no real purpose other than to look like a pervert.

suffering is inescapable if you were simply born with inferior genetics

your father generation also didnt have the internet and 24/7 media pushing beautiful people and an insane female agenda at him. That was different times man.

What does baldness have to do with your dream and projects?

I understand if baldness is having a negative effect on you in dating and relationships with women, otherwise baldness shouldn't affect other aspects of life. If you let baldness negatively affect your dreams, projects and career then it is your fault.

Don't give up yet the tide could be turning for baldites - Travolta is embracing it and that could be the trend going forward

I think the idea of equating happiness with primitive man isnt really comparable since, again to me, happiness is a left over luxury. You were happy when a good hunt ended well and everyone was fed. that was your only priority, keeping your clan fed and healthy. there was evidence of tools, story telling and even ritual burials so Im sure some higher level of thinking and outward/inward emotions were there. Im sure when a clan member died or they werent fed they were frustrated and sad but only after their main needs were taken care of.
In the grand scheme of things you could easily attain this by filling your day with other activities and goals. If you are flooded with objectives then you wont think of your hairloss. Stop looking it up online and watching TV. You wont notice it as much. Im just giving you a comparison to primitive living. Remember then to most intercourse was just for breeding, I highly doubt they had the same influence of beauty over just a healthy mate to make offspring so go that route to lol.

Travolta is too old now to have that kind of impact. He does look way better now for sure though.

Baldness told our female ancestors not to mate with guys that are 20+, but to always go for the ones at the peak of their physical state. Also baldness ensured that the males that already had a family wouldn't leave their family to die because of another female. Simply because other females wouldn't be interested in bald freaks anyway.

I really doubt that theory. Genes are selfish, if reproduction would have been determined by baldness that much, it would have died out sooner or later. Baldness does not really signal anything relevant about the rest of your body anyways.

There is much evidence to sugest that premature baldness is a byproduct of civilization for some reason and additionally ramped up during the last 20 years significantly as well for reasons unknown.

Well, maybe all the full head offsprings died, because their full head dads left their families to mate with other females. Also maybe the fact that females mated only with full heads (meaning younger males), the offsprings were healthier and more likely to survive. Can't think of another evolutionary reson for baldness. For it to be so common, there must be a reason why baldness gave some kind of an advantage in the past.

Is there a link to a study that shows any evidence that premature baldness might be a byproduct of civilization? That's interesting, never heard of it.

I don't buy it.
Baldness is virtually non-existant in todays hunterer gatherers though. I am not sure if it was even a thing in European populations back then.

There are two studies I remember, one was about how baldness spread in Japan when it became an industrialized country, whereas baldass was virtually non-existant before. And the other one was about how the Chinese youth of today is more likely to bald prematurely and severely than any other generation before it.

So what are you saying? Lifestyle? Diet? Animal fat?

I don't know. Maybe a combination of several factors and cross-correlations, no clue.

Than what explains guys who have a full head of hair well into thier 60s 70s
