    Yeah, we haven’t been the island of longevity for a long time. Male suicide rates are so high it affects our average lifespan. I really hate when outsiders think of island is some kind of tropical paradise even though we suffer constantly.

      At least people are interested to learn about where you are from (although maybe the wrong lessons) - and hope the community continues to support both a good quality of life and longevity. Both are are critically important
