It depends on your view. I mean, once you get a taste of it, you crave more so once we got a taste of technology we kept getting more. You also have to remember there though that the death rate is much higher because of the lack of medicines, but the deaths are fewer depending on locations because of the lack on contamination.

Also it depends on how you weigh out life. Are the things you work for worth the pain you go through? If not, then you may want to reconsider what you are doing in life and try another plan. Everyday we all suffer but what we make out of the suffering defines us as a person. So in reality, is it ignorance, or is it the fact that we crave luxuries?
