    It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

    “You should be grateful”

    If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

    “I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

    If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.

    Oh I dunno, Be different. Why doesn’t someone go after white straight men for a change? Just ya know, change it up a notch. Give everyone else a break from the fundamental fear for just existing for once. I’d like to see average straight white guy complain about how he has to regularly hold the keys between each finger just to get to his car at night. Or cross the street to avoid people. Or can’t jog at night. Or won’t give out his phone number at the drop of a hat.

    (Jk of course just in case fragiles out there can’t take the joke based on reality that many others live in)
