I mean, your argument basically boils down to "you can't complain, others have it worse", which is a toxic take. Should a person who lost a leg not be allowed to complain because someone in the world has lost two legs, and therefore is an annoyed spoiled brat who still has a leg? Should the only people allowed to complain be people on the verge of death, since they're the people who are the worst off? Does the argument work in reverse as in "you can't be happy, others have it better"?
