Oh,the humanity! These ‘problems’ are very real to the sufferers…Truly nobody knows the trouble they’ve seen, nobody knows the sorrow. So stressed are they by their afflictions that these folks took to Twitter to express their woes. Only people with a certain amount of comfort and security will ‘sweat the small stuff,’ or what others who live within a lower economic bracket, or reside in third-world countries consider to be…The small stuff.
Some people seem blind to the situations of others while loudly bemoaning their own trials and tribulations. For example. During a time of extreme – and to my mind, rather obvious economic stress in my earlier life, I was floored when a (then) acquaintance stopped in during her lunch hour to share the pain in her life. As I searched frantically, and fruitlessly for something – anything to offer her to eat on the day before payday, she wailed “Why has God forsaken me?!”
What had caused this crisis of faith ? This woman had a lovely home and family. However, her three-car family was faced with digging into their sizable savings, to replace the water pump in one of their vehicles. Mind, not only did they have two back-up vehicles, one was a Jaguar. in running order, parked in the garage. It was no secret – nor could it be, that my husband and I were sharing a truck which was on its last legs. The carburetor operated much like a fountain, burbling and splashing gasoline onto the engine block. When desperation forced me to drive, it was an adventure! The truck lurched and rolled jerkily along hidden within a dark cloud of smoke. Upon arrival at a given destination, and before the smoke dispersed, a volley of backfiring commenced, which which in turn set off every car alarm in the parking lot. Needless to say, I found it difficult to empathize with my friend’s transportation problems. On the plus side, very little embarrasses me these days.
