Gallup: suffering in Afghanistan hits global record high

http://www.gallup.com/poll/179897/suffering-afghanistan-hits-global-record-high.aspx

"Already the worst in the world in 2013, Afghans' ratings of their lives declined even further in 2014. More than six in 10 Afghans evaluate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering" -- the highest figure ever recorded for any country since Gallup started tracking life evaluations in 2005. As in 2013, no Afghans rate their lives highly enough to be considered "thriving."
