Old age isn't less happy than boyhood
 Recent research work of many American scientists find out that the elderly are happier and satisfy with life so much than the younger.
" Our fomular is that old age is the time less happy but it's not exact in reality...you have a lot of time ahead.In our old ages , we will even be more optimistic in looking forward to goodthings that will happen in the future", Heather Pond Lacey,the leader of research group,from VA Ann Arbor Health system,said.
"In our culture,people always think about old age as the time of illness,having no where to rely on,being lonely and isolated,but all of them are not true in real life",Lacey added
Lacey and his fellow _workers had an examination online and interviewed 542 persons of several groups of age, classified them according to how happy and satisfied that they could feel. Participants were asked to assess the level of happiness according to scale of 10 marks,and 10 is for the most happiness person.
As the result, the average of happiness level of age group 21-40 was 6.65 and age _group 60-86 was 7.23.However,both of them are different from the other age _group.
"Not only the youth think that the elderly have less happiness but the elderly also think that they will be happier if they can be back to their past.No faith of all of them is right."Lacey said
Lacey said that was not the first research work which demonstrated old age was happy.Some previous research work also show that they accept the illness and misery whereas try to learn the way to become happy regardless of disparities.
In reality,old age doesn't make you sad as you think.Just become optimistic with your life ahead.
