You're assuming people who are unhealthy, lack options, and live shorter lives are always unhappy. Assuming that "health, freedom, and longevity" lead to happiness is a value statement and entirely subjective. Do not disregard the importance of gratitude in determining happiness. A grateful person can be happy even in the face of death and oppression. Grateful people are the outliers that always seem to confound studies on money and happiness.
