Wait - OTHER people have problems too?!?

I think both suggestions are spurious there is no hierarchy of hurties or happinesses we place yourselves at the centre of our own universe and comparisons are odious - there is only what we experience and how we feel and deal with that - By either of these reckonings feelings have more to do with the status of others - I dont think so - We may be a social animal but are responsible for our own thinking feeling and actions about experiences that we have and we are free to evaluate them however we wish - There are no rules.
