The "what's your point" syndrome from others is very negative.

Unless we die, there's always people worse off and I truly believe everyone has their share of troubles at some time in their life. Some people relish in it, sadly.


With me and others in this country you got plenty of organisation you can go too for help , so I that feeling of hope , with millions of people in far off lands they have no hope , what must be horrible for them , couldn't think anything worst a mother cradling her child that about to die of hunger ,

People can suffer wherever they're born, whatever their class and however wealthy they are but,on balance, people in third world countries suffer more than most.

But also sometimes people with the least seem happier than people with the most.

Please tell me that you're being ironic! Maybe these children don't feel things should be different but we, who have clean water to flush our loos, bath or shower every day, wash our cars, water our gardens etc., should at least feel that they have a right to clean drinking water at the very least.

Re: think you have a hard life?

I get the point. That no matter how hard life seems at times, it can always be worse.

I've seen my share of pain and suffering, just like everyone here has. Unfortunately, pain and suffering is part of life. Some suffer more than others. But I always keep in mind the old saying -- that which does not kill us makes us stronger.

And life goes on.

I'd second that. Contentment means so much more. That, and good health.
