A friend of mine walked into his place of business yesterday – the company he'd spent 16 years building from the ground up – only to be ousted in a coup d'etat orchestrated by his partners of about three months, who seem to be intent on using my friend's good reputation as a boutique supplier of a quality, high-end product to sell their own cheap commodity version at marked-up prices.
So, relatively speaking, my life doesn't look bad at all.

I watch world news and see the pain, suffering and humiliation of so many that my life looks like nirvana in comparison. Its useful to see ourselves in a larger context than what we've created between our ears. However, suffering is the human condition, magnitude is the variable. Too see someone else starving doesn't cure the emotional pain we feel, just puts it in perspective. As Marty Feldman's character in "Young Frankenstein" puts it when they are digging a grave, "It could be worse, it could be raining." Then it starts raining. Form follows thought, again, at least fictionally.
