Does this statistic show that balance and moderation is more important than power and strength at building your happiness in life?

Sometime between 2008 to 2010, a study of the wealthiest people in China showed over 23.5% of them die by suicide.

A black comedian said in a joke 20 or more years ago, that black people who live in poor neighbourhoods with drug use and violence are less likely to end their lives then middle class people or rich people of other racial backgrounds who live in more expensive areas with beautiful gardens, parks, amenities, schools, malls, and people.

I posted this data at least 3 times, because I think it represents my argument very well, that indulgence, gluttony and extravagance is not the vehicle to happiness people outside that rich social circle, believe it is.

Having mental health, and positive, mutual social relationships with those who love and respect you, and having an authentic way to build up the world and help others is the way to happiness, not the luxury car or the luxury watch, or the lavish steak dinners people like to enjoy at Christmas time.

There are billionaires who are miserable and suicidal without any other health problem, because money does not change the fact we are wired to be social creatures and real social relationships are necessary, regardless of how rich you are, or how beautiful you are, or how intelligent and independent you are.
