[quote Cokie3]@pabloescobarselasticband "Its also very obvious how " tone deaf " Meghan is when you watch the " no one has bothered to ask how i am" interview from the tour of Africa! Visiting people in real poverty wearing clothes worth £££££ while moaning that no one cares about poor her! I mean seriously how ignorant can one person be?"
I think when someone is desperate to find fault with someone, they will go to desperate lengths, the above shows this.
All suffering is relative.
Someone here on AIBU could complain that their husband hit them. I or someone else could come on and say yeah but at least you're not in Africa or 'yeah, at Covid hasn't got you'. Clumsily expressed on my behalf, but you get the picture.
People, are PEOPLE. Meghan seemed genuinely surprised someone asked her, hence her emotional response. If I was suffering and no one ever, not even once, asked me 'R UOK'? I would shocked and teary if someone did, regardless of where I was at the time. The hatred people have for Meghan, and the petty and very immature lengths they go to find fault with her ie above with the Africa question, says a lot about these people. Regardless of whether she was in Africa, Sudan, Iraq, London, Beverly Hills US or in New Zealand, if someone is emotionally suffering, as Meghan clearly was, hearing that question asked can make you feel emotional. But in order to see that and understand that, one needs to have Emotional Intelligence and compassion.[/quote]
Exactly.
According to MN, no one has a right to complain unless they are living in a garbage tip somewhere in a war torn zone.
Even if you are a single mum in a council estate trying to make ends meet, there is always someone having things harder than you.
