I've lost family. Those people weren't killed in a tsunami, rather due to old age, or cancer, or car crashes. Does that grant me the right to complain? How much do you have to suffer before you're "officially" granted the right to complain?
Everyone has the right to complain. We should appreciate what we have, but just because we have things better off than some people doesn't mean that our pain is meaningless, or that we should walk around with smiles on our faces all the time. Sadness is sadness.
Forgive me for taking this thread seriously, if it's meant as a joke. I can't tell.
