Everyone has problems. Your statement reminds me of a theory for why there is a Black/White suicide gap. I'll explain.
Blacks can attribute their problems to being a minority (whether or not that's the case), so they have something to be angry at. Whites are not a minority, so when bad things happen to them they may not have a faucet for their emotions. That's ONE theory... which is actually problem wrong, but it's still interesting to think about.
People should recognize that life sucks and then move on.
“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”
My goodness I love that quote. I think I'll set it as my signature.

edit: How do you change your signature? My account settings doesn't have it listed with age and biography and whatnot... not seeing it anywhere.
