You may have lost your job, had to make a hard decision, etc. But you're not a child dying of AIDS and starving to death in the desert heat out in Africa. It's morbid, but humbling. Things could always be much worse than we are. Rather than be sad we're not as fortunate as some, we should be ecstatic that we are more fortunate than others.
