Chemistry / Why are most molecules in singlet state if the triplet state is lower energy?

Hariharan asks...
Most molecules are in singlet ground state which is a higher energy state. A state is more stable. So nature would prefer an arrangement which gives lower energy. Accordingly molecules should prefer to be in triplet state which is of lower energy than singlet energy ground state. Why this is so? Could you please explain?
