Or is the media just finally, finally recognizing it as a legitimate issue?

I don't know I just can't fathom someone feeling so low and down that suicide is the only option left, damn. You only have one life and then there's nothing...

Life is shit, 99% of people are struggling, we all feel isolated due to working too long, staring at social media too much, and not engaging in social interactions.

We're lonely, we get hooked on drugs, we get depressed, we kill ourselves.

It's called losing all hope. It happens, and quite a lot.

This isn't a recent development. Humans have been depressed since as long as the species has been around. It's a byproduct of having endless wants and desires. We don't get what we want, and we get defeated.

Why do you think religion came about? It was a way to market and sell hope to the people. Imagine needing to buy hope... Hahaha

Let me rephrase this: Imagine being able to buy hope. Can I buy some hope? How much is it?

I get it, most peole are born poor and your options are be poor or get in huge debt to try and climb up. Always inundated with depictions of wealth and things you can't have.

Any attempt to be nice or encouraging is ridiculed. You give a kid a trophy for participation so he feels good about himself and peole get pissed off. A kid feels good about himself triggers people.

The USA is riddled with prejudice and inequality but on a more basic level we are mean to each other. There is little kindness, no community. Love is seen as weakness and everyone is fighting and arguing all the time.

America is a business, not a country. It's s shit place for people with a soul to live.

Lol, imagine giving a eulogy. "Bob was a good man but you only have one life and then there's nothing." It would be like hitting a brick wall.

These people are investing all of their chips into a fairy tale. These people need to be brainwashed and swindled into hope. If that's the cost of living, then I'd rather not pay.
