ungrateful

[restlesseyes]

sometimes i feel like i am being super ungrateful lucky i was born in the US so my (struggles) are way different from somebody born in a third world country who never even had a chance at life example born into sex trafficking , the government is non existent nobody to protect them , food comes here and there and education is also rare a quote i love, is a kid that has never seen war has completely different values from a kid that has seen war. This makes me feel like when i CTB i will be punished for having it so good but my mind believing i have it so bad

You can try and be grateful. Sometimes that helps. But to our mind and body, just saying it could be worse doesn't always make you feel amazing. If you are suffering, you are suffering. Some people might have a hangnail and suffer more than a person with a more serious injury, it's all relative and ultimately up to your neurochemistry and other such factors.

yeah same
but whether or not i live in a third world country just changes how comfortable i am physically while suffering. i would have the same problems, maybe worse, but problems, either way

I also know I'm in the same boat but then, I feel resentful towards people trying to make me feel guilty because 'others have it far worse'. Ultimately, it's not my or anyone elses fault that we were born. I'm antinatilist at heart anyway but I especially don't think people should bring children into lives where it's plainly obvious they will suffer. Ultimately though, I wish I hadn't been born. It's hard to feel grateful for things when you want to reject life itself.
