That's pretty common actually. In developed countries, you take staying alive as a given, and so you aspire for much more, and often life doesn't live up.[citation needed]Posted by: Darthbill99
In places like Iran, people are just happy to survive for another day[citation needed]Posted by: Darthbill99
and so to be successful and happy all they need is survival. [citation needed]I'm just telling you what I theorize to be the reason. I didn't intend my post to be scientific, although it could be read that way I suppose.I'm just saying that it is a series of VERY bold claims to say that 1) suicide is only high in affluent countries and 2) conditions are so bad in Iran that "people are happy just to survive for another day"
