If you read what I am saying, I didn't say one couldn't empathize with someone that came before them, but my point was rather you cant expect someone to NOT feel bad about THEIR situation simply because someone prior to them had it worse. Thats like asking someone who is starving to not feel like they are starving simply because someone prior to them was more starving.
Human advancement is such that in a lot of areas people who came before us had it harder, but that doesn't devalue what we may be feeling RELATIVE to what WE ARE EXPERIENCING. What someone had before them that they know nothing about, have no vested interest in the individual or were not a part of cant be asked to somehow shelve their personal feelings for "the old guys".
Perhaps if you were not so quick to call me a "millennial" and actually read what I was responding to you wouldn't come off like a bitter ass.
Hopefully you are just having a bad morning due to all the cancelations and you don't actually judge people so quickly. Sorry about the caps but I felt I had to defend my position with key words so they won't get missed.
The point is, when you’re feeling low and unhappy, remember how hard others have had it.... that should make you feel better. I guess sarcasm isn’t your thing. Feel lucky, because you are. The worst job in the best place is still better than the best job in the worst place.
