So what, some Zambian child is eating his mum's shit so he has the energy to collect bamboo all day? How is that meant to make me feel better? Because it's worse? Under what standard? Even if it was objectively worse, why does that mean I should be remotely compelled to feel better simply because he's worse?
Under what standard? leads to a question on moral nihilism which I've overdone now. Just grant it as objectively worse than any other X person for argument's sake... how is that a satisfying, comforting detail? As a kid, did you and a friend ever communicate your feelings to one another only for them to seemingly try one-up you on each problem you have/had? It's quite a similar paradigm.
Seems totally ludicrous to me and acts more like a formality than something thoughtfully, or even intentionally, helpful.
