discodown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 And I think to myself...what a beautiful world... ...smile and be happy...tis only a bit of weather... I never cease to be amazed at peoples reliance on weather for their emotional well being. I'm not going to criticise anyone for it but it does seem people are happier in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to criticise anyone for it but it does seem people are happier in the sun Some people DD...some people. I agree with you otherwise. We live in a country with four seasons...sometimes in the same day...so to tell yourself that the weather is what defines your rate of happiness is to virtually make a pact with yourself to be down for about three quarters of the year. Now that is barmy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It is true that people are happier in better weather. Even subconsciously its inevitable that people are going to be a bit miserable putting up with our weather, and the last few years have been very poor. None of this raining for weeks on end while Tony was in power, getting us all spending up-to our eyeballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 30% of people in Bolsover (who are in work) earn the minimum wage or less. They need all the help they can get. I used to live in and left that hole as soon as I could. The people in Bolsover don't need help from the outside world, although I'm sure they'd want that easy option. They need to take the chips off both their shoulders, stop whining and realise that life is what they make of it. Blaming the Tories for the loss of the collieries and Coalite twenty years ago is wearing thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, and one sure I am sure of, no man should ever have to work in such conditions to earn a wage. Thank you Mrs Thatcher, for closing them down, I can now breathe easier.

It's your body that relies on sunlight to be happy, it's not some sort of made up thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just making the point that most people seem happier when the weathers better not that they are medically inclined to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 And I was making the point that we are all indeed medically inclined to be happier when the weather is good. It really does affect your mood. It's not some sort of weird behaviour by people who don't like the rain. So I guess you can cease to be amazed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove that every single person who is happier when its sunny is affected by SAD or withdraw your claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I didn't make that claim. But to the claim that I am making, sunshine makes us happier; http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/emotions/sun-happiness1.htm But evidence shows that those graveyard shifters may be suffering from the reversal in unexpected ways. One area where humans may not be able to escape the sun's biological effects is on their moods. It all comes down to a complex relationship among sunlight, melatonin and serotonin that we're only just starting to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
