> [@monstro](#): > > How does it make you feel when you hear about able-bodied people being depressed about their lives? Do you ever think, “Must be nice to be able to walk AND whine”? Honestly, NEVER. It just doesn’t occur to me. That sounds like something a person who thinks constantly about their own sh\*tty life would think, and that just ain’t me. Besides, if I give my brother a hard time for being bummed about breaking his leg just because he’ll eventually heal up, why shouldn’t the ventilator-dependent C1 quad I know get all bent out of shape at me because I complain about neck pain? “Geez, must be nice to be able to feel your neck.” Right? I say, there’s always someone better off than you, and there’s always someone worse off. KWIM? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-girl-in-the-wheelchair/622436)._
