Now you know damn well you never had any social skills to begin with.

being enslaved and beaten and starved, much like Aushwitz and many enslaved people treated like dogs before. That is rock bottom. Or being kidnapped by a serial killer, in war surrounded by death and destruction and famine.

If human's can withstand that and have a will to live and fight, then most problems in 1st world countries are no where near rock bottom, the person having the problems is just weak and has a broken, likely egotistical/egocentric mind.

I would advise people who think they have ever hit rock bottom to read Victor Frankl's man;'s search for meaning and realize your whining and driveling and desire for death is pathetic.

I was unemployed for 5 months once and never fully got back on my feet. It messed up my social skills.

fuk no, always had a bed to sleep in, always had food on the table, always had my health for the most part

never been anywhere near rock bottom, not because im blessed but because im not a pussy who thinks ive had it hard comparatively to most people on the planet

I have been homeless, gone hungry, lived surrounded by death and destruction and famine, but many have it much worse.

Like those who were enslaved in Auschwitz, the kids living on the Gaza Strip or in Syria, war torn regions in Africa, extreme poverty in Latin America and Asia.

I would not say people suffering from homelessness, hunger, or violence in the first world are weak for pointing out their problems. The USA is not a utopia.

I do agree that a man needs to be strong, no matter his circumstance.

Poverty and suffering is not an Olympic sport to compare and compete, it binds people together through shared suffering.

The world really is like one big ghetto, the wealthy countries are not the majority, let alone the wealthy regions in those countries.

As a man, you have to confront it head-on for the ones you love. In my faith, speaking up for the rights of the poor is a command of God.

There is a difference between a man whining about circumstances that are his own fault, and a man who speaks truth to power in defense of the poor.

We can sit around going "You think you have it bad? Well what about me, you p*ssy?"

Or we can say, "You do have it bad, and you are not alone, we need to work together to make things better."
