Are your "problems" really problems?

Nope. Just some inconvenience,
Think about it, we are tiny specs in the giant plain of space. We are insignificant creatures on a planet among billions of others. When you think about it, it makes our problems seem small.

Yeah, I have a lifelong illness which prevents me from doing many of the things I would like to do.
Also hopelessly addicted to nicotine.
Also kinda fucked up my leg doing martial arts and I can't walk for long periods of time now or stand for long periods of time.
Also clinical depression, general anxiety disorder, ADD, major social anxiety, etc.
And I majored in philosophy so I have no job options unless I go do graduate school.

Our problems are small.
But it doesn't make them hurt any less.

Since my "problems" are concrete physical maladies, they are problems to me.
To society, no, I'm really just a burden. Rewind 100 years ago and I would have probably died of "natural" causes earlier on. Instead, I some how managed to make it to the ripe old age of 26, leaching funds from health insurance. Thank God I have a job that provides benefits...

I don't have any problems right now. Just choices.
Are problems really problems if you have a choice?

And if your thee only creatures in existence on his world, in this realm, what then, your natural responsibility would be/is vast and wide... you are not then, so small.

Same, except at 1. You get used to it after a few decades
>>28131123
what does that even mean? How do we define what "real" problems vs fake problems are?
>>28131123
Yes, they are
Not in terms of actual, visceral suffering
I fully acknowledge that I'm probably in the top 95% of the population at least when it comes to sheer undeserved luck
But they are still things that bother me and things that I do not know how to solve.

You phrase it nicely, but I think that choice itself might be a problem. But then so is the lack of choice, so what the fuck?
