The Happiness Curve is U shaped

For most of us ,  the most happy part of our lives was when we had no responsibilities, less things to care about , times when our body had surge of its youthful hormones.A recent study conducted , shows that the happiness curve for most humans is U shaped , with happiness declining after youth and "the sad times" or the bottom of the curveexperienced during the middle ages, when one gets bogged down by pressures of life and responsibilities of both rearing the kids as well as taking care of the parents , and other pressures concerning Job, finance, housing ets is high on us.
But the most happiest people have been found with certain traits, viz
They are happy doing whatever they do,
and are most content with what they have , rather than striving always to have more.

Happiness with contentment is a great gain
