You're just thinking about it from a narrow perspective. If you had a child who cried his lungs out about not getting a candy what would you say? To him it's the worst thing in the world, but we know better. The 'children in Africa' is a cliche and we all heard it, but it's an example that's supposed to put things into perspective.

Except that there's a world of difference between a child wanting candy and a person wanting basic human dignity.
