1. This seems entirely plausible to me.

I've heard/read many times about 3rd-world people who are thrilled to share the joy of their celebrations, their friends, their families. Yes, subsistance life is fucking hard, I'm not arguing that. But it doesn't necessarily seem to cause unhappiness, in and of itself. And yet so many 1st-world people are miserable, working for the weekend, slaving away to have more and more stuff... competing over looks and goods and possessions. Bleh.
