Yes, I'm grateful I was not born in a war torn country with human rights abuses being the norm and the world turning a blind eye because there's no financial incentive to get involved.
That doesn't mean I am going to delude myself into thinking “yes, working 40 plus hours-with verbally abusive customers and employers-a week just to survive(not thrive) is good enough. I am happy. I will not complain.”
The Calvin and hobbes comic had the dad tell his complaining son “you know, things could be worse” to which Calivn replies “they COULD also be better.”
