Look at this

[Herman]

Some of the pictures really sadden me. Whoever said "My life is horrible" and all that on the forum, you are so ungrateful really. It's such a shame.

[HUGECOOL]

Can anyone say pointless thread?

This is one of the saddest excuses of pathos being used. Sorry.

Excuse me while I vomit.

Way to make anyone who feels that way feel guilty.
Did you know it's common for people who are truly depressed, to feel worse because they are AWARE their life isn't as bad as others? Makes people feel worse.

People aren't ungrateful for disliking a certain time in their lives. What, so since we don't live in Africa - if our parents slipt up we have to keep smiling because kids in Africa don't all HAVE parents? We aren't allowed to be upset at all?

That's stupid. People are allowed to feel however the hell they want. It isn't fair to label them ungrateful or anything else like that. Some people can't HELP how they feel!

To a certain point I agree with you. = )

Oh and I agree with you, SHEEPY. We're being lead into guilt just because we're 'better' off which is supposed to insue us with guilt.

I hate the fact that TV adverts and other things do this...

I agree with that.

No, what I am trying to say is that people should stop complaining about their lives because their life is actually great compared to others.
Just because your parents wont buy you a PSP or whatever doesnt mean your life is crap. Some people dont even have a game console. So what I am saying is be happy with what you have instead of moaning about how crap your life is!

I detest people who use these kinds of images to gain some sort of 'advantage' over people.

People complain about their lives because to them, their lives are bad, and from where they are living they have only had set experiences. Like for instance, they did not grow up in africa.

You use this as to say 'It's out fault, so shut up whining about your life when others suffer'.

Well let me say, others will always suffer (Sad, but true). People can only accomodate what they have been through, I'm sure if say some person who says ' I have a bad life' means it in a way that her 'old' life has changed and it has caused her to be depressed/sad/upset with herself and her life.

I agree rly, even though it is sad what the Africans go through.

Actually in some ways it isn't. People get depressed for other reasons. Saying we shouldn't just cos some people in africa are starving is really pathetic things also happen to our OWN people in our OWN country.

Good topic Saurav..

I don't think I could settle on either side of this discussion, both sides have points and views which all mean truth and really point out some meaning.

However, to share some of this on Saurav's argument, I feel the same sometimes. Its as if people have everything catered for themselves but still moan how bad a life they have, in all means, being spoilt. People like this show that they havn't any notice of how others in this world live there lives, for instance, Africa. Remember, he's not telling you how to live your life, hes showing you what benefits we in MEDC countries (More economically developed countries) have against the poor in some parts of Africa.

However, no matter where you live, how wealthy or poor you are, money doesn't buy freedom, in all factors of life its something that people confuse themselves with.
People get depressed over situations and occurances some time in our life, its normal, its one of lifes obstacles. Yes, some people like to share and express there depression more than others but you have to except it. People find different ways of expressions to help themselves feel better from shouting it out loud to slitting your wrists, but lets not differ on that term again ¬_¬

Sadly for countries like Africa, they can only hope to regain a wealthy growing economy to make there lives a better. Look at this thread as a difference between your life and others, but don't look at it as a complaint.

Can't agree more. We wouldnt know how bad their life is becuase we dont live like them.
