First World Problems

[rareboy]

I will be the first to admit that I am a pathetic first world cuck.

And even as we are experiencing so many first world 'crises' there are...I can't help but being aware of how pathetic we are.

Oh well.

... how pathetic we are.

I always think of thiis when I hear Australians (or nationals of ANY wealth first world country) talk of "poverty" in their homeland

In my younger days, I was left quite humbled with a few trips to India

A lot of first world folk need to get out of their comfort zone - get on an aeroplane - and visit anywhere in the arabic middle east - and much of Africa, India and many other parts of Asia and SE Asia

WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES

You can read…
… so you are luckier than over one billion people who cannot
read at all.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness …
… then you are luckier than the million who will not survive
this week…
… and even luckier because you have a provincial healthcare card
that guarantees you will have healthcare in case of illness.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...
… then you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend any meeting you want—political, religious, social…
… then you are luckier than 3 billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep…
… then you are richer than 75 per cent of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
dish someplace…
… then you are among the top eight per cent of the world’s wealthy.

If you can read a list like this, then you don’t belong to the 1 billion
people who CANNOT read...​

Most of the "first world" have not a CLUE - what poverty really IS
