I will express what I think about subject, instead of correcting, I hope this is OK.
Humans are happy when they share a common goal, when they unite, when the must endure
sufferings (in small amounts!) and they MUST rely on each other to get out of the sufferings.
This is an heritage of a long evolutionary history, and sometimes it is a curse, as the desire
to unite could lead people to make an enemy out of somebody else, just to share
a common fight.
Other times it is a blessing, when the common aim has positive meaning, for instance people
that go to sing together or researchers working on some hard project.
Many societies, and surely Italy is one of those nowadays lack this.
It could be possible to set a 'shared aim' like countermeasures against climate change,
and, for instance have group of people gathering around to build solar panels.
Many common aims could be found and I sincerelty hope that somebody would
make the call.
What I'm referring to is something 'on the tune' of the unforgotten speech that
American President J. F. Kennedy made (on Sep. 12, 1962) in front of students and
faculties of the Rice University. Obviously speeches are not enough,
and Mr. Kennedy did much more than speeches!

Thank you Leyla to give me an opportunity to express my thought.
Anyway, a society that is mostly base upon commerce and selling plenty of goods,
is actually promoting the opposite process, as the lonely man, the man who is anxious,
the one who does not have a ''community life' is (as the one who sell stuff usually are aware of)
a very good buyer and incline to buy stuff with not much thinking. This, in my opinion is
one of the saddest facts about the world of economy.
Humans forgot to love.
I have been observing people for a long time. Before I only observed the people only from my own country.Then I began to observe people from all over the world. I noticed that most people are unsatisfied, they like to complain and most are unhappy. Why? What is the main problem? Today I read a short text about it. I like it and I tried to translate a part of it into English. I also learned some new words from the text.
The humans have learned to earn money, to buy beautiful and unnecessary things, to spend (or while away) time, to dissemble ( I am not sure what you mean), to eat fast food, to wear what they want, to drink, to smoke, to talk about nonsense, to forget, to lie, to keep pets, to be lucky or to be loser, not fulfilling promises etc. But the main problem is they have forgotten (how) to love.GOOD JOB.
