Imagine just surviving the killing fields of Flanders in 1918 where half a million of your comrades lost their lives and finding yourself in the Spanish Flu pandemic that killed around 50 million people in the World, then scroll forward to 2020.......Feeling so hard done by now?

Perspectives and context is all..

I get what your saying and share part of the sentiment but we can keep making comparisons that outdo the other and where does it stop and more importantly perhaps what does it achieve..

Dealing with the now is where we are, and for some it's been pretty awful and won't get easier for a while..

So whilst I share what seems to be the reason behind the post op and certainly for some it is appropriate to say oi get a grip for others it more about an arm around a shoulder and trying to emphasise with just what this is for them..

I believe you strike a good balance. It's good to reassure people too that things similar to this have happened before and we haven't been burdened by negative outcomes for ever.

Peace and goodwill to all.

Let’s be honest women’s rights, equality for all sexuality abs race and all the other changes make to comparison null and void really. We are humans that have existed in a totally different environment ... while I agree that sitting home watching Netflix isn’t a hardship we wouldn’t survive what our previous generations did.

I don't think it's useful to dismiss people's feelings because others had it harder. People who are used to life in the late 20th and early 21st century are dealing with conditions as they are now. My dad keeps telling me how much worse it was in the war and he's quite possibly right but we're not in the war.

Support for each other now would be better in my opinion than telling everyone to man up.

I think we would as a race. Most of the world doesn't have a similar lifestyle to us and I think most of us would adapt whatever the conditions.

Thinking about the past as a felt experience is a null semantic. We can learn lessons from the past but we can't actually experience them.

What people feel now is what they feel in the active experiences of their lives in this moment.

So. I for one would like people to stop telling me to get over what I'm experiencing today simply because someone had it worse yesterday.

If this pandemic has achieved anything it’s made the population become aware of death. Prior to this unless it affected them personally the vast majority never gave it a thought.

There's a touch of four yorkshire men about this post.
