You know the term 'sardonic?'
Comes from the people of Sardinia, a region of Italy on the second-largest island in the Mediterranean. The eating habits, activities, social life, and other aspects of the Sardinian lifestyle contribute to making this region, along with the Japanese island of Okinawa, the area with the highest rate of centenarians in the world. Their diet consists of mainly whole-grain bread, beans, vegetables, and fruits, along with goat's milk and wine high in flavonoids. The exercise they get and the social life they lead contribute greatly to their longevity and it's no wonder Americans are so miserable. The Sardinians live in strong, healthy families. They celebrate their elders and laugh with their friends and they have a true purpose in life, whether it's farming or shepherding. Even the grandparents are out every day at five in the morning doing what they have done their entire lives, because they are healthy and happy. They're not discontent, running in a race they don't know what they're running for. They're not stressed about where their careers are taking them their entire lives. Their diet isn't based around a cheeseburger. And they're not caught up making insincere conversations on facebook. They just live, and it's one of the purest examples of simple, pure happiness. Living with friends and family, having a purpose, and eating healthy. It's so simple. Why can't we understand?
