Everyone gets depressed now and again, it's perfectly natural. But when I'm depressed, there is something I like to remind myself of that keeps everything in perspective.
If you live in white, supposedly civilised society, then you are automatically better off then at least 80% of the world population without even trying. Sure, things may seem bad now, but are you living in Africa without clean water or electricity, dying from AIDS? Are you living in poverty in Indonesia, trying to survive on the 5c an hour you get from working 12 hour days, seven days a week in a sweatshop? Anyone who lives in a third world country knows exactly what the hell I'm talking about. The fact that you are reading this on a computer means that you are much better off then the majority of the world population who couldn't use a computer even if they wanted to because they are without electricity.
Basically no matter how bad things get in your life, you are better off then at least 5 billion other people on this earth, so stop your fucking whining!!!
PS: This of course does not apply to anyone reading this who does live in a third world country. You guys really do have something to complain about. I'm aiming this post exclusively at people who live in the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and most parts of Europe.

Depression is relative to a large extent. Something that depresses me greatly may have less bearing on you, because of it's relevance to your life. Yes, sometimes we do need to stop and take stock and remember that these people are having a bad time of it, but don't you dare dismiss anyone's depression because it's "not as, like, bad as what's happening in like, the Third World".

You should re-read that. It's a really good point.

Call me a liar if you want, but I do think about this when bad things happen in my life. I find it helps keep things in perspective.

I don't think it's a horrific post, but I do think what you're saying is cobblers.
When something goes wrong in your life, is the first thing that you think of "Oh, it doesn't matter that my fiance's banging the next door neighbour / I've just got a £4,450 car repairs bill and I can't afford to eat for the rest of this month / my friend's just been sexually assualted / my mother's just been rushed into hospital, because there are people worse off than me in the Third World"?
You call yes, and I'm gonna call you a liar.

For the record, I dealt with all of the scenarios above. Not once did the plight of starving Africans cross my mind during those times. Does that make me a bad person, or is it about relative feelings and self-preservation? You tell me.

Hey I said it wasn't likely to happen, but it is still possible (although highly improbable). Just because the use of computers in the third world isn't as widespread as it is in say America, doesn't mean that it isn't possible.
It is really fucking pathetic on your behalf that you couldn't fault the main point I was making, so you had to pick on some small footnote. Let me guess, you were the kind of fuckwit in high school who got picked on by the kids in your own grade, so you beat up kids in the grades below you to make up for your own feelings of inadequecy? What a fucking loser!!!

Unlikely that anyone in that situation would be able to access your post? Are you really that fucking stupid????? They barely have food but somehow they've managed to get a computer and somehow stumble across Ubersite. If you hadn't mentioned this and someone from a 3rd world country saw it, we would have given you shit? Are you for real? No one can be this dumb. Do yourself a favor and don't post again because you truly are a huge tard, and you should have just said yes you're a teenager atleast it would have made some kind of sense, to be a grown fucking adult with the mental capacity and brains you have is a fucking shame."

I knew it was unlikely that anyone in that situation would be able to access my post, but you never know. It doesn't hurt to account for improbabilities. If I hadn't mentioned this and someone from a third world country had accessed my post and left a review, you all would have given me shit relentlessly!
By the way, I'm not a teenager.

You my friend, are a fucking dumbass! And I'm guessing that anyone in a third world country doesn't have a computer. But I'm sure if they did they would be happy to know that you're on their side. Teenagers.."

That 5c an hour thing is a myth."
No it's not. There is plenty of articles available on the net about companies such as Nike who move from developing country to developing country exploiting the population. It may not be as low as 5c an hour, but it ain't much better than that.
