It's a dog-eat-dog world and society doesn't care as much about individuals as it pretends to... for example, suicide.

Yeah the inability to understand isn't too different than what somebody else said here but i'm coming from a different direction. Kind of like how people are competitive but also i think a lot of people feel deep down that our world is a zero-sum game (which could be argued it really is) meaning less people you have to split the pie with means a bigger slice for yourself. I've lived quite a few years in a different country with a very different culture and in the US get that feeling much more that it's everybody's job to be concerned for themselves.
I guess you could call it being hypocritical... when it comes to suicide they act like such virtuous people but then if you were to examine many other areas of their life you would be able to see they really aren't.
EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egRgweL12Uc this george carlin bit feels somewhat correlated to my point here when he talks about how people are disingenuous when they hear about tragedy in the news.
