You don't know much about suicide huh?

The accumlation of wealth is the same thing that drives athletes to go pro and mountain climbers to tackle Everest. It's just a different environment.

Compared to the majority of people on Earth, you are rich.

Everest is a good analogy because all they’re doing is taking a collective **** on a mountain that should be left alone. Waiting in lines like they’re at Disneyland.

Pro-sports are sad pyrrhic victories as well, actually.

Not really how the word is normally used, but ok.

A Pyrrhic victory (/ˈpɪrɪk/ ( listen) PIRR-ik) is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has also taken a heavy toll that negates any true sense of achievement.

Not worth it

Yes, I know what it means. The way you're using it is a melodramatic stretch, but whatever.
