So what you are really trying to say is "there are starving people in China!" ha ha. I know poor American's don't have it as bad as say a poor Peruvian or Burmese, but go tell that to the kid in a one traffic light town working at McDonald's in Nowhereville West Virginia. |
Perhaps as a non-American I should stay out of this  but I really feel the need to say that I think Flamingboat touched on a very good point: everything is relative. |
Yup, and my experience is is that comparing sorrow doesn't work. It only makes waves, ... bad ones for sure.
However, humility (not sure I got the right word here) is still a virtue. Better leave the comparing to the person him/herself.
