About this deal

Considering all the above, if someone says "It could be worse!" in response to "How are you?," how should I interpret it?

The next time someone complains about the aches and pains that come with aging, this might be an appropriate response. 20. “There are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them.”– Phyllis Bottome Shaw was a playwright who wrote My Fair Lady . 25. “When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.”– Malcolm Forbes This excerpt is from an article about a natural disaster, a giant mudslide, that stopped traffic on a major road. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has made his strongest intervention to date to criticise those resisting taking the vaccine, after the Guardian reported that unvaccinated patients are dominating ICU beds. In the film, two characters (Dr. Frankenstein and Igor) are digging up a body in the cemetery. They need to do this for research on the reanimation of dead bodies, but they are having an awful time because they are covered in dirt and doing such an undesirable task.Toby Ord, a senior research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) at Oxford University, believes that the odds of an existential catastrophe happening this century from natural causes are less than one in 2,000, because humans have survived for 2,000 centuries without one. However, when he adds the probability of human-made disasters, Ord believes the chances increase to a startling one in six. He refers to this century as “the precipice” because the risk of losing our future has never been so high. For example, if the mom of a toddler laments that her child colored all over the wall with a crayon, you can remind her that it could have been worse if the tot had used a permanent marker. We all want to be heard. We want people to listen to us without judgment or without offering advice. If a friend or family member is struggling, stop and listen. There’s no need to add a qualifier to what they are feeling. 14. “This will all be a bad memory someday.”

Even when it’s true, it’s not kind. Even when it’s meant to be kind, it fails dismally to be even remotely comforting, or motivational, or whatever the hell it is that the kind of people who go around smugly uttering these words like to think they’re achieving by it. From Tuesday, all passengers arriving in the UK will be required to show proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow test taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. Nigeria will also be added to the travel red list on Monday.Ill health and disability can be hard to understand at first, for the individual and friends alike. If you don’t know how to respond, then it’s probably best to say so rather than garble out something unhelpful. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about the person, but gives the opportunity for you to greater understand the situation and offer sincere support in the future. The president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine said the NHS would be in a difficult position if the Omicron variant were to trigger a surge in hospital admissions. Dr Katherine Henderson said hospitals were already struggling to cope. “It is pretty spectacularly bad now, it will get worse – and if the new variant becomes a thing in terms of numbers and translates into hospitals admissions we are going to be in a very, very difficult position.” In totalitarian regimes of the past, [there was] so much paranoia and psychological suffering because you just have no idea if you're going to get killed for saying the wrong thing,” he continues. “And now imagine that there's not even a question, every single thing you say is being reported and being analysed.” It could be worse” invalidates people’s experiences and belittles their illness. I know that many ill and disabled people are fully aware of how much worse their situation could be. When you have a debilitating condition, what you have left is one of the things you hang on to- it is what keeps you going. But that doesn’t mean that you have to be happy with what you don’t have or can’t do, and it definitely doesn’t give someone else the right to tell you how to feel.
