I realize you live in the developed West

You know a phrase I could do without? "First world problem."

Look, I know you are not coping with your monsoon flooded hut and washed out rice fields, alright? You are not stumbling, dying, carrying your starving children out of Somalia.

I'm clear on that.

You can go ahead and complain about your life. It's your reality, and it is not worthless. There will always be people worse off than you, and better off. Let's get past the disclaimers and move on, shall we?

Seconded! I would be stuck in a permanent state of frozen indecision if I based all my actions and words around that kind of criteria!
