I don't know, there's a lot of that in the countryside in Brazil, that kinda looks like Africa in a lot of places, maybe not as much loneliness as people and families usually stick together but all the other things are there.

But i can see how a simpler and poorer life will remove the worries of emptiness/lack of purpose when all you can focus on is making ends meet and have enough to eat at the next meal.
