Do you think happiness will decline with age?

I don't think happiness declines with age. As people grows old, the definition and meaning of happiness widens and deepens. We learn to appreciate more all of the things we have. We learn more about life and living. All of us will grow old in the future. Does that mean we have to live a sad life after our youth? I think the best way is to age with grace. If you have lived a good life and hhave prepared well for your old age, you'll still be happy being old. As for me, happiness is growing old with my husband and seing my child's children grow and become successful in their lives.

No don't think that happiness will decline with age, but due to family burdens, un proper future plans it may come. but if we properly planned our future in financially/ risk coverage plans like medical & life insurance/ etc.,. we should try to be a mutual understanding person with other family members, if any problem is not easily solved by you for some time you leave it and think in a different angle with a cool mind, think for to day and tomorrow also because if we are in trouble no body will look in to you.

Whatever declines with age is due to gravity only.Happiness has a great anti gravity force.

Hello, When we get older, we tend to have the same things we do when we are young (like good days and not so good days). As we age our body is not keeping us as healthy, we need hormones, medicines, and a good diet. We also need to be more active. Physical activeness, walk,run, move arround, all important to keep our body well and our muscles going, this also keeps our brain in good working order. If you try to be happy most of your life, you need to keep at it, so you will be happy on down the road. If happiness declines, the person needs to work at being HAPPY.

thanks for giving me reply, i think happiness for ever in man life i won't be consider with age and what age it may be so it doesn't matter to me of course as a student i like now may be in the old age also i am happy person forever so i can make happy with other people just like you.

In my opinion Happiness is not determined by the age. It depends on a person's character. The old people have experienced a lot so they can endure more than the youth.In their eyes the happiness is different from ours and nowerdays the age of the old people is enlarged. I think the happiness maybe increased by the age. Hah!

why should it?one should be happy as they grow older and looking back at life and the little things that had occured that no-one pays attention too at the time.they should be very happy that God has let them live this long.I am going too stay happy the rest of my life

Honestly, I think it all depends on the person. I myself think I will be a very happen person with age. I am seeing that life only gets better as you get older, and wiser of course!

No, I don't think that happiness declines with age. It all depends with whatever we do with our lives today while we are young. If we abuse our physical self, then we deprive ourselves of that happiness we should have in the future. We get sick in the future. If we do all we can to take care of ourselves and plan for our future, then we can have that happy future that we all long for when we grow old. That's my ultimate dream in life... to grow old happy and fulfilled!

i dont think happiness will lessen but will only be limited because as w grow old we need to be more busy on a lot of things and we just cant be happy all the time or people might think that we are beginning to lose our self...there is a proper time to be happy and a lot of time to be more serious...unlike when we are kids that we dont take everything seriously....

in fact, pure happiness will decreased with age older, when we are young, there are nothing we will worry about because we have parents to solve everything for us, but when get older, the burden and responsibility become heavier, there will be many things make you feel not good and unhappy. Of cause, we will try our best to make ourselves and family happy,and hope can make life fullest everyday.
