Just because you can find someone worse off doesn't mean that you don't have real problems that need to be addressed. I've seen this same attitude used to excuse poverty, racism, inequality, and any number of social tragedies. It's a horrible attitude that scoffs at genuine problems because they don't meet some absurd standard. Just because I'm not some over contrived movie of the week one in a billion horror story doesn't mean my problems aren't real and don't need solutions!
