Everybody is looking for empathy. The intention of the comment was to create empathy for the less fortunate, and maybe change the OP's perspective to find a solution.
It is not about feelings, but rather truth - which can hurt sometimes.
- thatswrong0 5y agoNo, this isn't about spreading the truth. This is pretty clearly all about you thinking you have such a useful, considerate perspective of the world, when in reality you don't even have a basic understanding of human psychology. Telling someone who's miserable, "Oh, you think you're miserable? Well look at how much worse it could be!" is idiotic. Almost everyone knows their suffering could be worse. But knowing that doesn't do anything to stop the suffering. You're not helping anyone but yourself.
