So "better" entirely depends on your values, right?
Ever heard of the phrase "better to die on your feet, than live on your knees?"
Not everyone shares the ethos that a full belly is happiness and goodness. There is more to life than mere material goods. What makes a life worth living even? I guess if you have a job all is good, at least as per your line of argumentation.
