Why Denmark Is One Of The Happiest Countries In The World

- Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer and the author of "The Blue Zones of Happiness: Lessons from the World's Happiest People." Here, he explains how Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. Following is a transcript of the video.
Dan Buettner: I actually think most of the previous stories about Danish happiness were wrong.
The first stories were that: Danes are happy because they have low expectations. Nothing could be further than the truth. Every Dane, from the moment they're born, expects free healthcare, free education. When they get into college they expect to be paid to go to school. If they have a child, they expect to have 10 months of paid maternity or paternity leave. And they expect to be able to retire absolutely securely for the rest of their life. It's huge expectations.
What makes Danes happy, I believe is because their government takes care of all the necessities of life - nothing can ever go too wrong in their lives - they're free to pursue a job that really speaks to their passions.
But actually, Denmark is a place where ambition is not greatly celebrated. So, people aren't in the rat race. They’re not always buying new clothes and new cars and trying to keep up with the Joneses, and that gives them more time to pursue their interests.
So, you have a country here where people are good at architecture and they create the best restaurants in the world and furniture design. And these are jobs suggestive of flow - of optimal using your talents, so that time can absolutely disappear.
When it comes to happiness, I think we often think of it as the attainment of joy, but actually, the bigger part of happiness is getting rid of the stresses of our daily lives. So, this notion of having your health insurance covered, your education covered, and your retirement covered is actually very huge.

Happiness is choice, but it is easier when there is a system that supports this choice.
Americans are generally very nice but when I went to Denmark Ppl were so darn sweet!
This Little Critic You are probably not an American.
Danielmeir not all of us are dicks :)
Danielmeir not all of us are A holes! Some of us are open minded, and down to heart
Where do you live? I want to move there
What about to blacks?
Denmark government is the best. ... Respect from India
So instead of the happiest nation in the world, a more accurate term would be “the least stressed/frustrated country in the world”😂😂 or “the country with the least amount of problems in the world”
Sounds very nice and I'm sure Denmark is a lovely country. But there's no such thing as "Free Education" and "Free Healthcare". Those are paid for through extremely high taxes.
Richard Forester The point is that if you are talented, you will go to college notwithstanding your family's social class. If you happened to fall ill, you won't die, suffer lasting sequels or lose your house. It's a safety net built by everybody for everyone, not each one to themselves as in USA. That's called civilization.
LagiNaLangAko23 You have just watched a video showing an actual country with great advancements in what for many other ones is dreaming. Nothing is free, but if you poll all your resources together, no one is left behind nor down. Cooperation. That isn't dreaming, that was what took us out from the caves.
María Martínez What you call "civilization" I call slavery. Oh, and don't kid yourself, people still die and suffer with socialized medicine. And nobody is guaranteed success either. In the US or in Denmark. There are many opportunities for those that want to work hard here. It's lazy folks that expect "free" stuff that fail. But if you think it's so great elsewhere, feel free to leave. Nobody is keeping you here.
Speak for yourself Jen. I am not "miserable", and neither are most people I know. You've got a lot of nerve implying that I am selfish. Who the hell do you think you are? And no, not "EVERYONE" knows that "free" isn't free. I don't know what fantasy land you come from but there are lots of people that just think it's ok to lean on the government because it is "free". I agree with your point that some of the poorest people are the hardest working but that's about it.
No, it’s free. I live in Denmark btw.
FREE COLLEGE!!!!!!
ME: say no more fam!
*leaves to Denmark*
MY LIFE IS A MEME MY LIFE IS PATHETIC have fun with high taxes
God dam it TAXES *returns to land of the free*
But! Most education in the us is higher than the taxes in Denmark. (Btw 15yr are allowed to have sex)
@@baconsteakdiysmore3036 don't forget the drinking age
I think you forget that it's not just free college here, you're also paid to go there
I live in Denmark, but its country gets me more mad than Happy.
Edit: I forgot i made this old comment from over 2 years ago, my opinion has changed, my honest opinion was just meh to me now, not bad or good, but it's a lot better than in the past when I was depressed.
bye bye
@@SPQR1404 Um... Ok? My old comment who were 2 years ago if you can’t see, my opinion has change since 2019, but different opinion are still allowed.
Happiness is all about security. NO, not the kind of security that Americans are stupidly obsessed with. I'm talking about economic security. The kind of security that he's talking about in this video. The kind that ensures you'll NEVER have to struggle without knowing you have the essentials required to survive. That is the key to happiness and here in the US, we've been duped by greedy corporate elites into believing we don't deserve that kind of security and that we should be 'happy' to get the pathetic wages they're willing to give, even though they are worth billions and can easily pay more. We Americans are a somewhat stupid and beaten down people, when it comes right down to it. We are our own worst enemies because we allow ourselves to be manipulated and used by the powerful, to keep them wealthy and us struggling.
Bankers create money out of nothing, as debt, and with interest. There isn't even enough money in circulation to pay all debt and interest. It's all rigged from the start. That's why
But having a security net keeps you at a low level of laziness in your mind and physically.
FYI, Denmark is a fairly homogeneous nation; essentially they're like one, big, happy family.
@@bobv8219 That is nonsensical corporate propaganda and is not supported by any facts or research. Experiments with UBI in various cities around the USA have demonstrated that people tend to become MORE productive (and happier) when their basic needs are met and there is no fear of losing that security. Stop believing lies.
im danish and your right, we are happy because we have joy because we arent mean to ppl and we havent been in a war in like years and of all the free health care and all that, :D we also like to use :-D instead of :D but i like :D the most
awesome.
They take the most anti-depressants
South Burns Really? I think that's the US of A. Source please
Study from 2016 says its still the US when accounting for pr. capita. Denmark does always rank high on these statistics sadly, but I have never seen it on the top of them. Source is a Businessinsider article which sites many seemingly good studies for thier results.
Most wealthy countries have a high usage of anti-depressants, but it doesn't actually tell you anything about the general well-being of the population. In some respects it might even been seen as a sign of health, that people aren't afraid to seek treatment. You could compare it to how Scandinavian countries have relatively high number of reported sexual assaults because in a highly egalitarian country it is less of taboo and women can expect to get help and will therefore be more likely to report the crime. Statistics aren't very helpful if you don't understand the background for the data.
Tattersail that's great to know but it would still kinda negate most of the "happiness" in Denmark.
South Burns no not at all, you don't get happier by taking anti deprressants.
The weather also plays a role
For me, happiness is CONTENTMENT and good health surrounded by positive people. You will be happy in life and it's a choice. Period.
Danes are really one of the best in Europe 🙂🙂😊🙏💙
I live in America and now I want to live in Denmark
Before I watch this I’m gonna say it’s because taxes are used very well. They stay chilling.
they are wasted on stupid shit.. stop lying
Esdynu "Stupid shit" How funny, meanwhile in the US we spend $700B on our military. Which TOTALLY isn't stupid at all. Last time I checked, the world wasn't on the brink of war.
and when world war 3 breaks out you will be happy that usa is on our side
Middle class pay the most taxes in Denmark , he is lying @@linusmlgtips2123
In the comment section I see a lot of “THEIR” government takes care of “THEM”. Like some overlord-ship. Please understand it is the PEOPLE who take care of people, and this is the message we always have been sending to our government, whoever is in charge. There are some basic values we all agree on (that goes for the other Scandinavian countries too) the rest we can discuss. Everybody in Denmark can start a political party; as it is we have plenty to choose from already. But if I started a political party with the slogan “pay 0-taxes” meaning the end of free healthcare, free schools and so on, I would never get votes enough for just one seat in parliament.
You are right. Danes have very solid foundation of a Modern society
They don't want to live on the moral high ground but only strife to have a good society
for their citizens. Danes have a high trust in their society and government.
Thats one more of theese cliches. I would rather trust ANYBODY Else than what is suppose to be my own fellowmen
You may mean strive not strife! And btw they do live on the moral high ground
strive
Kid in denmark : still happy
Grown up kid in denark : still happy

yes, danish anti depressants works, thanks for reminding everyone
@@beo191 Vi kalder dem lykkepiller
Actually you nailed it, and I hope for you Americans some day will turn around and meet your life with the same expectations. Best of luck from Demark :o)
I think what he said is only partly true due to the fact that he's not defining happiness but rather, contentment, which are not the same things. He's explaining why Danes are content, not necessarily happy. In fact, in order to gain true happiness, there is often a temporary loss of contentment.
As a Canadian.... I couldn't agree more. Being so close to the US I obviously am surrounded by their news and social media channels etc etc ... and as similar as we are in terms of Geography, we as a Country are a lot more like Denmark then the US. Specifically in terms of what you mention in your video
We may not have the extensive coverage of Denmark, we do have Free health care and retirement benefits, two major subjects we often take for granted.
Although, the end of the day I believe one's Happiest is measured by one's own decisions in life, personal choices, and expectations.
If you can PERSONALLY be happy with "less"... and by less that covers everything not just materialistic items, you're likely easier to live a happy stress free life.
America has alot to learn
京都アンソニー yes because we have the biggest economy.
...and the worst living conditions for first world country because of our economy

Imbecile.
The irony is there regardless of adding the word "Imbecile." No need to add offensive words when your correction is already worthy.
but not from denmark
Isn't happiness very subjective? How can you objectively measure it? Also Denmark has one of the highest use of antidepressants.
you cant measure it, its fake news
@@beo191 you sond like donald trump
I don't think it's a form of measurement I think you just look for that constant smile on their face in that wonderful personality that describe happiness pretty much.
Me Me constant smile? Thats sounds like a psycho who tryed to fit in!!😂😂
@@pernillerosenkrantz-theil3471 haters will always hate man ,so sad
I have to go there.
Denmark is a nice country, but from my experience visiting Copenhagen, its a very socially awkward society, people rarely look at each other when they cross paths, their entire society is very conformist and anyone who doesn't fall in line with their social norms is ostracised, it doesn't feel like the freedom i feel in USA where the government isn't breathing down my neck
*EDIT:* Yes, when i say Denmark is a socially awkward society, i mean the people seem very introverted, perhaps this is a byproduct of a socialist society, the people already have everything they need because of their social safety-net, this tends to produce people who are less extroverted which is linked to ambition and ultra capitalistic societies like America. Hence, Denmark are the largest consumers of anti-depressants in Europe
USA USA USA
in america you don't need government to breathe down your neck, giant wall street corporations do that.
To be honest big government doesn't sound so bad when they guarantee all of those things.
ok but how do you first spend time talking about the social norms and customs and then conclude with fuckin government breathing down their neck? I dont see how any american can ever feel relaxed when you have presidents who constantly threaten to take peoples security away. Having to fight daily so that bills arent passed to remove healthcare or even to protect the children of illegal immigrants from being deported, I just dont see how this is freedom or not having the government breathe down your neck.
Its only in copenhagen, all a little smaller citys/towns are vedy nice
EDIT: The other big citys is also a little like that
Some other countries have free education & health but almost everybody’s depressed. The level of education & health ought to be high but what’s even more important is housing & security & lack of corruption
name me one country that has free education and healthcare.. nobody has..
that's why Bjarke Ingels was having concussions regarding WTC 2
So business insider is basically saying Socialism is what makes people happy. Weird...
Why is that weird? Socialism with a free market economy seems to be what works best. Its security with all the free trade benefits.
You really have that backwards... Those are two forces that more often than not work against each other.
Well Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland are countries where it does work, which is what business insider specifically points out in this video. So what are the more often than not examples you're referring to?
You said Free Market Economy, *"In economics, a free market is an idealized system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority."*
Which is literally opposite of Socialism. Just because Socialist country allows any part of this, doesn't make it Socialism.
Jolly Joel didn’t socialism divide into communism and social democracy? Also not tryna start shit,I’m just curious. What can you do in the US (or a capitalist country) that you can’t do in Denmark (or a social democracy)
People in denmark are happy because we created Lego! :D and the first Legoland park!
This is why we need Universal Basic Income (UBI). We need to remove the dependency on money for basics such as food, water, etc. so people can make better, more appropriate career decisions without money being the primary influencing factor. This will also drive down student debt & encourage creative thought leading to greatly enhanced productivity in an efficient manner. I've ran the numbers, replacing the nearly $1T we spend on all sorts of welfare & replacing it with UBI will provide for all of the 100M people not in the labor force, including students & retirees. If we just use $800B from welfare spending leaving $200B for medical coverage, it gives all of the 100M people $8,000 a year, or $670 a month, which is triple the average welfare check amount.
Much smaller middle class than Usa per capita , high taxes don't benefit the majority
Dude, I think I'm moving to Denmark 😅
Good. You put "one of the happiest" into the title...

DENMARK PAYS YOU TO GO TO SCHOOL????IM MOVING!!!!
Shane Delahunty well I might be danish. You never know. Don’t judge.

And free healthcare + education
you already live in denmark idiot
you probably have debt like most danes as well
@@beo191 jeg er ved at blive så træt af dig og dine idiotiske kommentarer, og nej, vi har ikke gæld på samme måde som USA har det
Denmark so clean
Health and educational system in Germany is like this also. About having kids the state support more than Denmark. Choosing a work also can do that one too. But even though Denmark is more high at the rank of happiness.
They have more free time Germany is just work and work and work
Denmark is very good country ❤🇩🇰
Im from denmark
What if you get citizenship in Denmark?? Any thoughts about it
See south park season 20 tho
It’s the Canada of Europe yaa.
I want to lie there in my next life
Horrible weather and ok people, but I have not found anybody as happy as the people of Bhutan. frankly the people of denmark could not even carry a candle to the people of thailand who i found poor but much much happier.
Bare necessities those good bare necessities the bare necessities.. OF LIFE!!!!! SOOOO!!!! TRUE!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁
Happy educated people are an asset to a country
A OECD report suggests the moods of Scandinavian nations may be more closely linked to medicine than anything else. The chart depicts the relative amounts of antidepressant consumption across several different European nations. Iceland - not technically in Scandinavia but nearby - leads with 101 daily doses per 1,000 people. Denmark, Sweden and Finland are all close behind, with Portugal the only outlier. Norway ranks ninth. LOL... ironic huh? www.opposingviews.com/health/worlds-happiest-countries-take-most-antidepressants
Most of these countries have many dark months and some of the best healthcare systems in the world. So, not very ironic.
It all depends on what you value in life..if health and education and social welfare..then countries such as Denmark, most Scandinavia, Australia and new Zealand are excellent.
If the opposite and ambitious in career, then it should be the capitalist markets of USA, uk, even China and Russia (just don't mess with the government there and it will feel Capitalist), india, etc
Why Denmark is the Happiest Country ??? Tortilla Flats Vejle Amigos !!!!!!!
This is the most toxic comment section I’ve ever read
You don't get around TH-cam much, do you? This is fairly tame.
TH-cam is a cesspool.
That is because you have stumbled over a gigantic Lie
That is what jealousi does
probably because people are sick and tired of idiots like you spreading lies about denmark being happy when its one of the most depressing countries in the world
Denmark dosn’t have as people say “Free healthcare” and “Free education” it’s paid through it’s high tax. But most of that tax is returned to the people and directed to help the people which is what makes it work. Alot of people live with average income and such because of the high tax. You might not have all the luxuries of life, but in return if you ever get ill you’re coverd. And if you’re a single mom with 2 children and low income, the communes will help paying the rent you can’t pay meanwhile also giving you money for your children and yourself so you can buy basic life needs, they do this until you get a higher income that can suppot both rent and basic needs (Clothing, food, etc) until then they’ll help you.
DON´t worry, be happy! DANMARK!
Plus a majority aren't greedy
people became ego because theyre getting rich

I went to Denmark a couple of years back and everyone had smiles on their faces but here in England I rarely see smiles outside and some lady from her balcony gave some balloons to our family idk wth she was saying she was talking Danish she was like (saying Random Danish words) and threw us balloons
I have to go to Denmark now but I only speak English and Spanish
Ricky Riko Most Danes speak English.
Cesar Jimenez thats cool and how do they feel about Mexican Americans??
Ricky Riko I don’t think we really care. (I don’t)

I'm sorry but Finland actually got like interviwed something so...
Cause their not easily bored...
I want to have a government like that. Providing you security to accomplish greater things! But the Danish govt should work on encouraging ambition, so meritocracy would be good.
Bro US should follow Denmark.
That OneGuy why? We have the biggest economy and the best military. We are the most diverse nation where Denmark is made up of white people.
we also have some of the worst living conditions for the bottom 2/3rd for a 1st world country... go figure
Jolly Joel well buddy, that’s not the governments problem. That’s the people’s fault for making the neighorhoods crap.
Jolly Joel and Can I get your source?
Give me a subject of "some of the worst living conditions" and ill give you a source. I was referring to dozens of subjects.
The only reason we are so happy is bc there is no drinking age limit
And becomes alcoholics and fell depressed that their life is miserable.
I feel as though much of the story isn't being told here...
We don’t want any of that happy crop here! This is America! God dammit! Happy educated people are good for a country not for corporate profits!
And they said money can't buy you happiness *smh
money can't buy life bcause you only live once in this world
Yeah cuz it’s free when you live in Denmark

Happiest ? Witnessed three suicides by train in my 7 years living in Denmark. Doubtful.
Tom Tucson *year lets look at how many you’d see in another country.* 3 suicides dosnt mean its not the happiest
"Witnessed" ... is that so.
I was a train driver in copenhagen for 5 years and i never hit anyone ?
Maybe you are making people around you extremely depressed ? :-D
Watch The video Suicide rates in the world/Country suicide rates comparison."
62 highest suicide countries and Nordic countries are far from the top.
The highest suicide countries are:
The 1st Lithuania, the 2 nd Russia and the 3 rd South Korea.
As this post is little more than an ego massage for the poster with only his opinion to go on, (he states "in my opinion"?) it has very little credence! Would be a far better post if it were not the opinion and preconceptions of one individual but facts and interviews of the indigenous peoples!
If my country was ethnically and culturally as homogenous as Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia then we would be “happy” too. It’s easy to make that claim but you’re comparing apples to oranges

Cabdullahi Abdi man nothing is free that is being paid by working people
Yeah. But me as a Dane, I am not happy. We have free stuff and things, but SERIOUSLY WHY ARE POPTARTS NOT AVAILABLE IN DENMARK.
Also, Danes are not really the "happiest" people on earth. A more accurate reality is simply a more content people, but not really happier. Content due to many of the societal obstacles to comfort have been removed, by a combination of the government and the generally hard working and socially conscious nature of the people. However, this is NOT a source of actual happiness. Contentment and happiness are not the same thing. In fact, often, in order to gain true happiness, you may temporarily loose contentment.
Why can’t the UK do this 🤣
Cuz you'd be spending all your taxes on muslims thats why
Definitely high taxes. Its like 42%
Depends how much you get from your job. If you get 40k every month you pay high tax. It is 51% and 32% if lower
Add high consumpition tax aswell = middle class paying 80% in Denmark
Try that in india and everyone will be just lazy to do anything

Why is Canada the 5th happiest country? Wayyy higher than Japan. Why is Greece so low on the list?
I'm sure I'll regret asking, but what is your point?
Cardo Richard
Japan- gender inequality, high suicide rates, stress.
Greece- financial instability, economic crisis.
Ke Y lol. I already know why Greece and Japan are unhappy. My point is, ethnic diversity or lack of it is not the issue. As long the population is highly educated, and the government isn’t corrupt, the people will be happy.
Come to India and see the difference
india is failed capitalist state
The weird thing is, they have the highest cancer rate in the world. Look it up.
That doesn't really have anything to do with this? At least they don't have to pay their medical bills.
That’s why we have free healthcare. And we are used to cold weather and darkness so we forget to put on sunscreen.
you dont have free healthcare, you pay for it through some of the worlds highest taxes
Denmark has a high cancer rate because it has a high smoking rate regarding > (woman) and it also has a high alcohol consumption rate, so ive read. My quess, denmark may not use sensible political legislation regarding alcohol. E.G. ban the advertisement > reduce its availability down to the right level and alcohol that is too cheap > it does not go on sale to the public. Alcohol is a drug and a strong depressant and it can cause over 60 diseases, apparently. The legal drinking age in Denmark is 18 years in public houses and ov that nature. 16 year year olds can buy alcohol legaly in denmark from shops which could be foolish.

Denmark also pays 60% income tax....
Andrey Kitsen 37%-57% it depends on your income.
But most places taxes is cheaper than having to pay for education and healthcare.
They also have higher salary in Denmark and work less hours per week. They're able to live and support a family with one job even after paying 30%-50% tax. I don't like the concept in the US where for example a waiter has to rely on tips to get by.
Andrey Kitsen yeah and? Atleast we dont crave 4 cars and a big house and every electronic item in the world.
Exploitation of third world countries and compliance to the United States are the sources of Denmark's happiness.
And these third world countries are...? Absurdistan? Dinotopia? Kijuju?
What about Norway?
Exactly. Wish the UK used more noweigian political methodology.
Among the ten happiest and best countries.
Lovelly country!
They take care of their people that's why their government will last
You can figure out socialism with the right mindset, the US will never go for it.
They're happier because their government isn't insane.
Retire with less in Denmark , bullshit retirement is great in Denmark
Cattle is happy, lambs are happy, ignorance is bliss. I don't think selling your freedom to the government for happiness is an improvement.
praestvs we dont sell our freedom to our government! We just give more money to the government, so the people that don't have much money, can still get food, go to university, get a job and eventually retire. If YOU lost your job, and no one would hire you, then you would probably end up homeless. In Denmark that wont happen. You will have a home, and you will have food, and you will still have money for a TV. The homeless in Denmark are almost all selfmade. Most of the homeless are on the street, because they were either alcoholics, drug addicts, illegal immigrants or mentally ill. Now, the last one is not good, but the reason why they live on the streets, is many times that they couldn't live anywhere else. Denmark isn't perfect, but it's sure as hell better than America!

Interesting? Sells books??
It is incredible the publicity that many investigations try to show to other people, Denmark is a good country to live only if you manage to integrate into society, have friends, a good job, etc. but if you only have a salary that only serves to survive or you are unemployed, denmark can become a real hell for you, so not everything is as wonderful as the video about the country shows.
carlos gabriel lemaitre martinez then we have that backup called “Commune help” were the goverment starts giving you money until ypu become stable. Denmarks social safety net is way thicker then americas
@@kaiserslavaniaashur1623 The problem is that you cannot compare Denmark with the countries of America because they are very different cultures and situations, even each country in America has its particularities, the population of the Nordic countries does not exceed 50 million people, so it is much It is easier to plan and allocate the resources of society while the countries of America are beginning to adapt to the overpopulation they have had in the last 50 years, in Denmark for example the poor have no more than 4 children while in these countries the poor have more than 6 children that increases poverty levels, but to summarize each country has its advantages and disadvantages there are people who like the lifestyle of the northern countries and their opinion is respectable but for others these countries are not attractive to live

Agree, their happy because the government provide everything but deepdown they feel lonely and depress inside, hiding with a joyful mask is a sorrowful face. They are more the happiest country to live in but not the positive or emotional positive.
We are not happy. Maybe in copenhagen :)

They are not happier countries, they are the most depressed countries in the world,, Noth African Tunisian here ,, these scandinavian countries in general are depressed countries in general and boring life ، People are miserable and you don't feel their communities alive,, and the society alive . Neighbors don't ask about each other. In some cases, an old neighbor dies and no one hears about him,, he still many day and no one ask about him ect... Staff like that, you don't find that in other society , the happier countries in the world for me are the middetearanen countries in general : South Europe like Portugal Italy, Spain, South France,, turkey Greece ect... , North African countries : like morroco , Tunisia, Egypt,, labanon ect..., Countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea in general Because of the mild weather, they don't feel depressed, and especially the countries who are relationship between each other, neighbors ask about each other ect... and familiar societies, alive society if you understand what I mean ect... Ect.. And in the same in the middetearanen sea,, the weather is good ect... In all the year ect..., scandinavian countries are not happier and are bored society and people without relationship between each other, and added to that you feel depressed by the weather, for me are not happier society, and the happy is not by money or because rich society ect.., they don't have a familiar relationship ect., it's not alive society hhhh, I don't know if you understand what I mean ،like People go out with each other, people sit in the cafe with each other and talk to each other after work ect... , children of neighbors for example play with each other in the neighborhood, strong family relations between them , people visit each other and families visit each other on holidays,, ect... Ect... , the solide relationship between the people, you don't feel they have that, I don't know if you understand what I mean , I am from Tunisia, And we have these things, which you don't find with them, with these peoples in scandinavian countries ect..., they don't have a solide relationship between each other, the neighbors don't know each other ect..., some time, old man die in his house alone and no body hear about him, after few days They find out that he died, they have no family ties, a social relationship, etc, if you understand what I mean, like the others world, that's why you find the highest suicide rate in these countries, these scandinavian countries, very depressed countries
