Why are so many young people unhappy?

To cite just one example, Reuters reported in 2019 that suicidal thinking severe depression

and rates of self-injury among U.S. college students more than doubled over less than a decade.

An unhappiness is hardly confined to Americans as the social commentator Kay Heimowicz recently

wrote, Germans are lonely, the Balvivont French are lonely, and even the Scandinavians are

lonely.

The British Prime Minister recently appointed a Minister of Loneliness.

People have more money, better health, better housing, more education, and live longer

than at any time in history.

But people especially the young are unhappier than at any time since data began to be collected.

Why?

Are there any number of reasons increased drug and opioid addiction, less human interaction

because of constant cell phone use, and young people's fears for their future are the

most widely offered explanations?

But the biggest reason is the loss of values and meaning.

Let's begin with values and I'll focus on America.

The United States was founded on two sets of values, Judeo-Christian and American.

This combination created the freest, most opportunity giving, most affluent country in

world history.

This is not shovonism, it's fact.

That's why people from every country on earth have wanted to emigrate to America and

still do.
