Despite representing just 8% of the world’s population, the region accounts for nearly one-third of global homicides.
Breaking Latin America’s Cycle of Low Growth and Violence
North and Sub-Saharran Africa are poorer than Latin America but have much less murder going on. What’s going on in Latin America?
Life has the same value to every living human. Everybody has got only one, and without it, there isn’t much else.
But some do not recognize it (until late in their life).
That’s an extreme oversimplification, and that way of looking at it completely ignores people with depression and people committing suicide.
Obviously a life with more suffering is more likely to cause depression, and a life in depression is subjectively worth less.
Most people have their sufferings. In the end, most people even die from some suffering or other. That is just a part of life, and you cannot substract it away from it.
I don’t know why depression should be so different from all other diseases or troubles. I don’t know why it should affect the value of life? How would you value a life with no arms and legs, for example? How would the person with no arms and legs value their own life? Have you ever asked one?
I think you skipped an interim there.
Other diseases can cause depression, but it is only when depression hits the subjective value of your life really degrades.
You seem to think that…
… deserves so many capital letters AND is the only thing that counts. Well, then maybe I should officially allow you to NOT read my texts anymore.
I get the point you’re making but in the context of the OP the reply didn’t seem too far off. Yours though is getting pretty close to declaring a depression epidemic in Latin America, I presume because your saw red in their reply
No that was a generalization, not specifically in the context of OP. Life definitely doesn’t have the same value to all individuals as u/Zwuzelmaus claims. That is NOT specifically related to Latin America.
Regarding that read my response in the main thread.
