Someone once asked...

“A viral story of a terminal cancer patient comforting a laid-off worker has gone viral. But is using 'greater human suffering' to heal everyday anxiety actually helpful, or does it just tell people their pain isn't 'big enough' to matter?" "Is it true empathy to say 'it could be worse,' or is suffering not something that should ever be compared?”

Someone answered with kindness...

Suffering shouldn't be compared.
