Given time, I would think that evolution will always produce people who consider any given life to be worth living, even if that life really really really sucks. And those people will then have a survival advantage, and produce more offspring, who will be even more tolerant of low living standards, and so on. Eventually, what we originally considered to be pure hell would be considered by these "evolved" humans to be quite acceptable.

Approximate being two people as living twice as long.
