Starving to death? At least you're not starving to death while being physically tortured every moment of the day!
The problems people face and their suffering is real, and should be respected, even if there is someone who has it worse somewhere else.
- valval 3y agoThis just reads as you having to get to say what you just said. You’re explaining a very self-evident concept to a bunch of intelligent adults. Yes, negating someone’s personal issues by saying someone has it worse can be unhelpful. No, working long hours when you don’t even care if you’re getting fired or not isn’t “playing life on hard mode at level 10”. Unless your hard mode level 10 is someone else’s Tuesday, of course.
