So I recently had a conversation with someone on youtube, basically along the lines of an argument of nurturing kindness to help people with mental illnesses (my view) versus tough love and, just being 'tough' to help them (his view.) His letter, though horribly worded, incited some contemplation in me regarding this matter. I admit that often when I cry, or see other people cry, I sense a great amount of self-pity behind it. The self-pity possibly stemming from a comparison of one's life to another's (better) life, and in that not appreciating the good in one's own life. There might be something to this because in this information age we are so overwhelmingly provided with images of those more fortunate than us (though equally those less fortunate, they tend to get ignored for the sake of self pity), and in countries that don't have such information technology, they are not subjected to this notion of 'what life should be' or 'how much better life could be', so they therein appreciate what they have, and attain happiness in that.
