&gt;  should or should not constitute as suffering<p>Struggling is not really all that subjective, IMO. It&#x27;s something we&#x27;ve all felt (emphasis on emotion) and can quickly relate to and reasonably collectively define.<p>My point is we should not try and constitute something other than struggling as struggling. Struggling is already a reasonably well defined emotional state, there&#x27;s no need to try and equivocate other things with struggling.<p>More directly, We should not conclude that poor and few means implies struggling. All too often we conclude that richer means less struggling, and that by increasing wealth we can make the world a better place.
