greetings epicmafia community,

I think we need a good discussion on one's suffering.

Generally, your suffering is not real nor as bad as you think it is.

There are over 7 billion humans on this planet, hitting 9 billion in a few more years. You are not a special snowflake. You are not special at all. We are smaller than grains of sand if you look at how big the galaxy and beyond are.

I remember reading this phenomenon where astronauts who look at Earth for the first time in space, they are so struck by how minuscule humans are. They realize that their "problems" aren't real problems.

as I said before: there are millions of Syrians fleeing ISIS, and trying to survive

there are still millions being born into actual slavery, but they are still trying to survive

there are still people who do not have a reliable source of water or food, but they are trying to survive

these people would love to trade places with you.

I am just very tired of this culture where we must always validate people and their alleged "suffering"

I think most people do not understand how good they have it because their middle class lifestyle has never let them see what true suffering is

I don't think there is anything wrong with invalidating others' "experiences"

People should stop trying to treat being invalidated as the end of their life. You might learn a thing from being invalidated.
