[quote=scaredycat]it doesn’t matter where you are in the world. you will still always act in your own self-perceived interest. Just because people are suffering horrifically elsewhere doesn’t mean that people with financial anxiety aren’t suffering.[/quote]
My point is that their “suffering” is all relative. In the whole scheme of things, they’re not really “suffering.” Their world view is so narrow that they just think they’re suffering. And I don’t have a lot of sympathy for such “suffering.”
If you want to see real suffering, head down to east Tijuana sometime. Then come back and tell me how difficult some SD resident’s life is with a mortgage that’s $100K underwater.
