I think this has a lot to do with it.
I think a lot of people work hard all their life, only to find themselves prisoners of a weak old body. They didn't enjoy life along the way, and now they can't. So, what's the purpose of continuing onward.
I work a lot of hours. I have no retirement plan. Social Security is a joke. What do I have to look forward to in my retirement years? Death. I can look forward to that.
It is man's folly to believe that life has any meaning beyond life itself.
