‘’LIFE WAS SIMPLER AND EASIER IN THE STONE AGE THAN IT IS IN MODERN SOCIETIES’’

We are going to discuss this affirmation and I’m going to give my opinion about it.

As a citizen of a developed society I don’t think this is true at all. First of all, we can go to the supermarket or to the market and buy food; we don’t need to hunt an animal to be able to eat, or we can go to a restaurant, and we don’t have to do anything. Not only that point, for example, if we are cold we are able to turn on our heating system or if we need water we can open the tap or go to the supermarket as well, and we do not need to go to the river. So life was not easier because you always had to be looking for food and safe places, so if you had to be looking for food I reckon you were not free, and freedom is very important.

I agree with the fact of ‘’simpler’’ because you just live for hunting and taking care of your children and nothing else. Nowadays we look for material things, and we always want more and more (unconsciously). Once we are auto realized, we want to cover other necessities such as, in my case, clothes or cameras etc. So, I think life is easier now but it was simpler in the past. Our brain and mentality have changed so much that happiness is not reached by having some food for eating. There are other important aspects.
