Isn't it actually more surprising that suicide is so rare? For the longest time the majority of people had hard lives. Even now there are millions of people living in horrible conditions. Starving, not having access to good hygiene, having to endure painful illness with no health care, having to live in dangerous places where they have to fear for their lives, not having a comfortable place to live in, having to do hard and dangerous work for very long hours for almost nothing. No hope that it will ever get better.

Yet still suicide is pretty rare.
