I think this might be one of the most important reasons why more and more humans are getting depressed and suicidal. the world in it's current state is nothing of real value, you are not feeling that you are missing out on something if you would drop dead. After World War 2 or the end of the cold war there was hope for a better future, progress. But right now, what awaits us at the end of the tunnel? It looks like a dystopian future, we are reaching the bottom of consumerism, hedonism and enslavement.
