That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.
如果你做的很好,这是件令人愉快的事。相反的情况,就很令人沮丧。社会学家Emil,Durkheim分析发现,这提高了自杀率,追求个人主义的发达国家的自杀率,高过于世界上其它地方,原因是人们把发生在自己身上的事情,全当作自己的责任,人们拥有成功,也拥有失败。
