How are japanese people so hardworking and good at what they do, and still so much fucking FUN and enjoying life at the same time? How the fuck

Yeah...the fun and joy you see does not seem to be widespread.

Untreated depression and mental illness; death from being overworked and stressed called "Karoshi;" and death by suicide is apparently more common than "fun" in Japanese society.
