Cows and chickens rarely kill themselves even in industrial farms, that doesn't mean they have a good life.

>imo being a privileged baby having way too high expectations of what life is supposed to give you is all explanation necessary in this case. imo OP needs to stop being a baby and grow up.

I have a ton of debts and I've spent about 90% of my life living in poverty, I've spent my first year of college sleeping on the floor of a storage room with no shower or toilet. Does that look like privilege to you?

Maybe you're too simple minded to realize that just because you have it a bit better than some people doesn't mean you're in a good situation. What's the point of being safe if most of your life is spent making some rich guy's life better? The fun I got after work was never nearly enough to outweigh the stress and the waste of time at work.

According to your way of thinking a fed homeless man should be happy because he is fed. A hungry homeless should be happy because he is not handicapped. A blind homeless starving man should be happy because he's not also deaf and an amputee. Where does it stop exactly? At death? Everyone who did not yet die of torture should be happy, otherwise it just mean they're a privileged baby who is expecting too much of life?
