While there is occasionally a bit of truth to be found in these arguments, I'm frankly getting tired of them.

In life, there are always people that have it easier than others. Getting jealous / angry at them is a complete waste of time. If you want more out of life, make it happen yourself and don't worry about how easy or hard someone else might have had it.
