Wow. Probably the most insensitive, selfish thing I've heard yet. Let me rip off one of your arms, and then when you cry like a baby, I'll say "knock it off, don't you know it'd hurt worse if I ripped them both off?" Don't invalidate the feelings of another person. You aren't them.
OK, Dr. Phil...
WTF are you talking about..."arms getting ripped off"...???
He's talking about being in a "funk"...he admits he's just drowning in self-pity...he admits his own wife is also telling him to stop feeling sorry for himself. I don't recall him mentioning any of his arms being ripped off...or that his house was destroyed by an asteroid...or that his dog died.
I did say he needed to provide some details about what's really bothering him...otherwise, just felling sorry that your life isn't better than what it is...then yeah...look at everyone who's life is 10 times worse than yours.
I know "tough love" is lost on much of our the politically correct, pansy-assed society these days ...the people who need a group-hug when the guy at Starbucks messes up their coffee...but you know, people need to stop bitching and just deal with life.
It's usually not anywhere nearly as bad as people make it out to be...it's just easier to get bummed out than deal with it.
How's that for sensitivity?
