This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Too often we invalidate others problems-- by calling them first world problems, by saying when I was a kid we didnt HAVE..., and by saying Oh yeah, well Ive got [insert malady that is worse here]. Thats got to stop. While we should all be thankful for those things with which we are blessed, that does not mean that we do not also have legitimate, valid problems. Everyone is suffering. EVERYONE. for one reason or another. Making a contest out of complaining does no good. I guess the ideal thought here, is, even when we have issues (and we do) lets all keep positive!! But since we arent nearly that close to perfect, can we try giving those who share with us their feelings the credit of a simple Im sorry, How can I help?, or even, Why?.
