Do you ever consider the fact that there are young people right now with horrifying diseases that will kill them soon? Do you ever consider the fact that there are innocent people in solitary confinement right now?
That's just the start of the mindfuck. The crazier thing is: are we any luckier, really? We all take in a finite amount of pain, and then we all die. The numbers vary, but isn't the human condition fundamentally inhuman?

Which means that if you have a lot of room for small improvements, you could have a bunch of happy years ahead of you.
Prison would be fine after about two years, as long as you could study something.

But it is also based in perception. You perceive something to be worse than something else with an emotional filter. You can use logic to trump your perception and create a better view. Sadly this takes effort, so not everyone is willing or able to do it.
