A perfected world 15 years ago our society had solved all problems. There was no poverty, murder, car accidents, rape or natural disasters anymore. Everyone lived a perfect, safe life. Just one problem was left. Suicide. The suicide rates were at 25% and even more people suffered from depression and nobody knew why. Scientists tried everything to make people happier or even find the cause of the depression. Only 100 years ago life was a lot harder, less safe and people constantly faced problems, but the suicide rates were a lot lower.
