The problem with people is they can't see that everyone is having a hard time. We don't listen, we don't care, we don't bother. Why? Because our problems are obviously worse than anyone else's. And I'm not being sarcastic. As cliche as this may sound, it's all relative. For someone who was spoon-fed their life, the slight dent in the silverware might be a problem. While others don't even have a spoon to dent. So what's that dent to them? But we can't judge others' problems.
I read a postsecret recently: "Be kind - for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
As annoyed as you might be at someone complaining about their grain of sand of a situation, they might not have known worse. Are they to ignore what is wrong? No, the essence of human life is feeling. Feeling things like love, hate, anger, happiness, worry, fear, sadness, and a whole range in between. We have this range of emotion not so we can escape the monotony of a constant happiness. What is it to be happy when you have known nothing else?
There are people with bigger and smaller problems. But to that one person, their one problem is bigger than anything anyone could ever imagine. And you don't know what they're going through. You only know you. So it's best we get to know someone, be kind to them, and help them out, no matter the state of their spoon.
On a sidenote, today, the 26th of May, I purchased nail polish the closest I could ever get to my favorite color (TEAL!). Since the website's color swatch is does not do the color justice, all I can say is that it looks like this. And metallic. Wonderful, isn't it? No one makes teal colored nail polish. Turned Up Turquoise is the closest they get.
