you are right, dreaming, when you say that things are lot easier now than 40 years ago. So people would be less stressed if they would have the same needs as 40 years ago. But people tend to want more and more (or the media suggest to them that they have to have more and more) and most of these things are useless for a normal well-off life. So people are stressed because of these unnecessary things that they want.
I was glad that we had the volcanic ash cloud that stopped European air traffic for a whole week (even though I was a "victim" of that), because people realized that life went on. Nobody starved during this time, no company has gone bankrupt because of this, nobody was fired because he couldn't go to a meeting. Just a few flowers from Kenya that were supposed to be sold in our European cities wilted in the African airports.
And life was a little bit less stressed these days in many offices, agencies, companies.
I think what this world really needs is to slow down...
