Everybody has the right to spawn a kid that they cannot financially, physically or emotionally support.
I'm just saying it seems like a lot of problems arise from people by default being able to have children.

I know it works, but so do cancer tumors and illnesses, so something effectively functioning doesn't mean it's favourable - especially not when it comes to people's less than adequate management of their offspring.

Trivial? Perhaps. Simpler? Yes. Easier, however, I think not. Imagine knowing that there's something out there, something willing to kill you and your family because it is as hungry as you are when you look for your food.
I'd deem that pretty stressful.

I mean, you say that, but apes show fear, they show desire to keep surviving, and humans once taught a gorilla sign language and it mimicked, when its owner had died, that it was sad.
It would make sense that apes feel stress just as much, but from different things.

Well yeah, but nature running its course is what brought us in this pickle in the first place.

Except you'd get eaten fast.

I mean, why can't they control their brains? What's keeping them? Do I just have mind-control powers? Other people's brains are weird.

Strange. It's quite difficult to imagine.

It's almost like it's a comedy/parody or something

I, to some extent know what you mean, but I don't entirely see how having a lot of negative thoughts equals not being able to send a digital moneysack.
I believe what you mean is that there are people who break down trying to do so, correct?
Now, being suicidal is all about your world view, because it inherently depends on whether or not you desire to live, or specifically whether or not you desire to die.
Worldviews can be changed, and in my time of close-to-suicide, I found that the only difference between the days I felt broken disgust - if not apathy - towards my existence and the days where it was just contempt was that the prior was "Life is meaningless and I'm going to die without leaving any sort of imprint on this world, like the billions of other people on the planet" and the latter was the same but added "responsibilities are fictive, play a videogame."

In other words, one is hung up on the status quo, the other is hung up on the implications, the implications being "you can do pretty much whatever the fuck you want. You're free. You don't like it? Kill yourself tomorrow, but keep in mind that patch day is Wednesday".

It was never about living well either.

South Korea and Japan, especially Japan, have a massive gap between the poor and the rich, meaning that unless you work yourself half to death all day every day, you'll probably never make the jump. It's called being burned out.
Sweden has a suicide rate which is below the OECD average, so I don't know where you're getting that from.
Finland spends very little on treatment of mental illnesses.

It's, again, not about how to become a functioning member of society, it's about how to have a little joy in an otherwise seeming joyless life.

Here's a secret though: Nobody is perfectly happy with their lives, nobody is, as you call it, 'competent', and everybody have issues. You said it yourself: You're not free from bad things happening to you. Shit happens. Most people get the fuck over it, other people don't.

Your claim, however, that you cannot experience personal growth if you live in a rich country is unsubstantiated by any sort of evidence, and you never answered my question: How can you be unable to live by yourself (granted that you do not have physical handicaps or lack the mental capacity to realise what money is) - unable as in not able to, not as in unwilling to or as in not doing so with ease, but as in literally unable to?
