Knowing others might
Have it worse is
Scant consolation, indeed
To share is human:
Knowing Others
A thought about a popular approach to (other people’s) misfortune.
Trying to Understand Is Worth It
A thought about a popular approach to (other people’s) misfortune.
It often makes me feel worse, because I now want to hurt the person saying it.

True. Of course we’d like it if no one was worse off, but we still have to deal with our own problems. The extent of someone else’s problem doesn’t change that one bit!
