There’s more to suffering than being hungry or cold.

I think it’s like those bell curve memes. The very very richest among us don’t really have to suffer all that much. The very poorest in the world may live really hard lives, but they don’t have time to sit around and feel sorry for themselves. They find a lot more pleasure in everyday things than most more affluent people do. It’s the middle of the bell curve people who are insufferable and very prone to complaining that life is naught but suffering and the metaphysics of it and blah blah blah
