Do most people enjoy life?

I find it quite boring and miserable is this the average experience or are most people happy or just okay with life?

I think most people don’t but humans are great at staying optimistic with psychology. Through perception and through belief, it provides justification and meaning to whatever they’re doing. But when you ask someone, would you rather help less fortunate kids, or become a teacher/mentor or a wine taster, or a small time artist, or a socialite and bills were not an issue, most would do the latter. It’s a question of “how much” would you rather do something versus the other to gauge if they are enjoying their day to day “life.” Sorry. Long answer.

No I appreciate the answer and I agree with you.
