Please Appreciate

     People in first world countries have it extremely easy compared to the rest of the world, especially when compared to third world countries. People in first world countries complain about the dumbest things when compared to the problems of less fortunate people. The worst part is many people in first world problems actually think that their problems are equivalent to those of third world countries. This isn't to say that people from first world countries have no problems, its just that their problems are not that big of a deal.
     First world problems:

• Not liking a certain food.
• Not having trending clothes.
• Not having the newest iPhone or Galaxy phone.
• Not getting enough sleep.
• Having to much homework.
• Having parents that seem overprotective.
• Not having a snack at the exact moment that one is hungry.
• Not having hot water for a shower one or two times.
• Not being able to fast forward passed commercials cause the show isn't a recording. 
• Not being able to find the car in a crowded parking lot.

     Third world problems:

• Having to eat foods regardless of taste.
• Not having a single good, clean pair of clothes.
• Not having a phone at all.
• Not knowing where one is going to sleep tonight.
• Not having an education.
• Not having parents at all, and if there are parents the parents can't feed or protect their children all the time.
• Trying to find food after not eating anything all day.
• Not being able to take a shower a majority of the time, with hot water being out of the question.
• Not having a television at all.
• Not being able to even afford a bike.

     This  post is not meant to be depressing, it is meant to get people who are reading this to think. Most likely everyone, or almost everyone, who reads this post is in a first world or second world country. The problems that are mentioned in this post are slightly extreme because not everyone in a third world country is starving, without clothes, without an education, etc. On the other hand, these examples are problems that many unfortunate people in third world countries have to deal with on a daily bases. This isn't saying that no one in first world countries has problems like the ones listed above, but they are more common in the third world countries. However, these examples were meant to make the audience appreciate everything that they have, because no matter how difficult your life may seem, someone out there has a harder life than you. Always remember that.
