Sometimes I wonder why people commit suicide in some developed countries. Maybe it might be related to loneliness. Even in the face of hardship people in poor nations still manage to live happily because they have support from friends and family.
Isolation takes away human connection but brings in great ideas, most of the fresh moves or innovation happening around the world came through isolated minds which I think is the main reason they're promoting a lifestyle like that, yet it's not advisable to let people live that kind of life.
