Which probably means that they're not exaggerating their misery.
The human experience is relative. If you're stronger than you were before you feel strong. If you're poorer than you were before you feel poor.

Plenty of people around the world subsist with hunger as a common companion. Others maintain it's _impossible_ to do anything useful whilst hungry. > Take yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you are off today but it took today for you to realize it. But today has arrived and it's too late.
