"lol my life is such crap" and other first world bullshit * 4
    #23726902 - 10/10/16 10:20 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Nut up sumbitches
It ain't that bad here
Somewhere right now there's a kid wiping his ass with a leaf
wondering if his mom found any roadkill or sewage fish for them to eat
Wondering why his brother has to work in a goddamn plantation all day every day no lunch
In the hot ass sun
With swamp ass
And no cushy minimum wage or internet n shit

Yeah I can't stand people who constantly bitch about how dystopian society is, both because their complaints tend to be very generic and because they take for granted what they have, and their expectations are too high.

Sure the U.S. government treats certain people in other places in the world like shit, but on a comparative global scale, its citizens are living like kings.

There's a difference between wanting better and being an ungrateful consumer pig

Considering the looks on peoples faces and the energy they give off when I make my way through the hoardes in the city on their way to work each morning, and from those I talk to who are there, I'd say they're suffering pretty bad too.

Yes, first world complaints are different from third world complaints, but having given this much thought over the years I feel suffering is relative.

Although perhaps I've only had the time to consider that as I exist in the first world...

You are comparing different situations with different cultural expectations for success and standard of living.  Your perception that happiness is impossible for people who have it "worse" because they don't meet the entirely different standard that you have for yourself is somewhat bigoted.

Suffering is indeed relative on an emotional level
Suffering physically is absolute imo

The afformentioned roadkill family has physical struggle

I would view it as largely objective either way, but there's still different levels of shite

A lot of our creature comforts don't really do jack to make you happy

Sometime last week when I was storing water for the imminent hurricane

Does having fresh water make you happy? Not having fresh water might suck, but that doesn't mean having water will net you some emotional gain.

If finding fresh water is a struggle, it could be argued that the happiness in finding the water when it's needed is greater than the happiness of having clean water on tap when desired.

Perhaps not happiness but at the very least should provide a sense of occasional comfort and reassurance that you're not in hell here

There are basic needs met
All else is extra

I consider being heavily impoverished and starving to be an unhappy situation but I'm sure there are moments of joy
Still it isn't equivalent

The world is full of crap no matter where u go

These peeps picking up roadkill shouldn't be complaining neither, at least they're alive.. Life is a gift in itself..

I grew up in violence / poverty / sickness / hunger, but there was almost always clean water.

All of these things contributed to a general sense of dismay, and there is really no comparison in my adult life as none of those problems continued.

There have still been some miserable times, like working 16hrs a day with a 4 hour commute and 2hrs of sleep between shifts, doing that commute in the ghetto and having to fend off the local scum. Throw in trouble with junkie roommates bailing on rent, women trouble, and all kinds of minor shite.

Things can go pretty bad without having to travel to Cambodia

No comment/opinion on either side, but I believe the word you're looking for is ethnocentric, not bigoted.
