      Feel what way?

      I am privileged and happy. I do believe folks who are not happy should consider investing their time understanding other potential available opportunities including work, training, and higher education.

      Obviously a, say, severely disabled person whose paycheck is captured by their abusive partner cannot apply my advice, so in that nearly impossible situation I sympathize.

      Seeing reality for what it is and not giving up is the opposite of pathetic. Pathetic is assuming someone who sees life that way is going to be overcome by their mindset. Denial isn’t necessary to function.
