We evolved to deal with suffering, so, absent suffering, we invent our own. Appealing to worse problems can be an attempt to subvert that mechanism by forcing perspective. Subverting it is good since the mechanism is stupid: it's programmed to strive for a deliverance/salvation from problems which it guarantees can never arrive since that state is like the dog catching the car. Another approach to subverting it is religion. :p In Judeochristianity, "don't worry, you get the salvation; it's just not in this life". In Buddhism, "the salvation is an illusion that you can tap into at any time if you meditate hard enough".
