I grew up with the notion that, as bad as things may have been in my life at any given moment, there was always someone in the world who had it worse.
\nOf course, I get it.
\nAnd it\u2019s impossible to argue the merits of such a statement when you just have to turn on the news to see the suffering of people around the world that is far greater than the suffering I feel when my phone battery dies so quickly these days.
\nAnd I get that acknowledging that someone else\u2019s suffering is \u2018worse\u2019 than mine will help to lift me from the doldrums of sadness I may experience.
\nBut at the same time, when I diminish my own suffering because someone else has it \u2018worse than me\u2019, I\u2019m really ignoring and turning away from my own authenticity.
