Crisis are personal. That is their nature. If you get and ulcer from not having the latest Outkast CD or if you develop a drinking problem because you arent going to be able to pay the rent, your family is faling appart and your most likey going to be missing half of yourself for the rest of time...it all doesnt matter a crisis is a crisis. They are equal value to me. Human suffering is bullshit no matter how its served up. You just have to weigh, personally, what suffering you care to tackle. The value you place on each type of suffering is as personal as the crisis itself. If you get my drift.

I think crisis is relative-- for some people, crisis means not having enough food to feed their entire family.

Compared with them, everything in our lives is paled. But that does not mean that, to us, they aren't serious. People get ulcers, depression, and suicidal feelings in this country, and we're pretty well off.

It's a strange thing. Good to keep ourselves in perspective, but you can't shrug everything off like you're an Invincible Superman. It'll burn you out.
