About This Quote

This quote is a good reminder that there is always someone worse off than you. Even if things are not going well for you, there is always someone worse off than you. Sometimes, the worst off person in our world is so far removed from us that we cannot even perceive them. Yet, the fact that they are worse off makes you feel good because you know there are people who care about you and are willing to take care of you when you need it most.
