+282 It's messed up when people tell you to just live with your problems because some people have it much worse. That doesn't mean I don't deserve better, amirite?

Meanwhile, the starving, homeless, child sex slave in Africa is complaining about everything, just because he can.

Yeah. Like, everyone here has computer access and free time to waste on an entertaining site, so we are all extremely privledged compared to a lot of the world. But, sometimes people are down, or feel low, and telling them to get over it isn't helping. Sometimes people do have legitimate problems - they may not be the same as being homeless or starving, but they are still problems and difficulties. And comparison doesn't make things better. Like, if there's a homeless guy who hasn't eaten for two days, the fact that there are kids in 3rd world countries who often have to eat dirt isn't going to make the homeless guy any less hungry. Although, there are some times that comparison can put things in perspective.
