Your thoughts?


The idea that the rich are less happy or more screwed up than people with less money is a fantasy. Do people get this from the media or is it wishful thinking?

3 men were found dead in the last 2 months near a beach were I live. All three were ruled suicides and they were all in there 30's and making six figures. They had wives and nice homes and yet all three of them killed themselves (three separate suicides in two months).

They figured that they were all depressed, kinda sad but depression at full throttle can be deadly.

you only think that way, because nobody cares when a homeless person dies, but it makes the news when a rich person kills themself. i bet you're hypothesis isn't true at all

exactly what Kev said, not people want to hear/care when a homeless person dies.
