- eeeeeeeeeeeee 8y agoIt seems a lot of people commenting here basically just see money == happiness. Basically, these commenters are proving the article’s point. Why be depressed when you have money? Who needs empathy for the homeless when you live in a gated community away from them?
- Nasrudith 8y agoIt is a lack of scope for the problems - people would understand "even being rich being stuck in a wheelchair/an orphan/etc. still sucks it beats being poor and x". Given that they are in a better situation than most and no experience with the problems it gets triaged as "not really a problem".
- Para2016 8y agoYes. I grew up in a lower middle class family with uneducated parents. Then I was enlisted in the military. Now I'm a resident physician working primarily in a county hospital. So when I say someone is a narcissist it's backed up by current DSM knowledge. And when I say despicable, I say it knowing that this spoiled author has no idea how the majority of America lives. SV types seem to not understand that a "hyper competitive" educational environment is not a pitiable condition.
