This. I came to the states from a country where I would routinely see people living in literally shitty conditions. When I see people depressed in America, I can't help but cringe a little. I'm not discounting people's misery, because I know these feelings are based on a relative scale.

When you are born in heaven, you don't realize you're living in it. Funnily from what I've observed, the same goes for hell.



If it is common for the rich to not truly understand unhappiness while living a comfortable life, would it also be the case for the poor to not truly understand happiness while living an uncomfortable life?
