Mr.Van Landeghem,29,said:"A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.
"Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65.But the 65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied,as he has learned to satisfied with what he has."
