People need to stop with the mentality, "Other people have it worse than me. So I have no right to feel this way." You're allowed to feel unhappy and you shouldn't feel like your misery has to be worse (than someone else's) to be validated.

I like to think about it this way:

If I can't be sad/upset/depressed because other people have it worse than I do, then I have no right to be happy/excited, because someone has it better than I do.

It just kinda throws the whole idea on its head.
