Steven D. Levitt Quote
While one might expect that suicide is highest among people whose lives are the hardest, research by Lester and others suggests the opposite: suicide is more common among people with a higher quality of life. If you’re unhappy and you have something to blame your unhappiness on—if it’s the government, or the economy, or something—then that kind of immunizes you against committing suicide, he says. It’s when you have no external cause to blame for your unhappiness that suicide becomes more likely.
