Comment on Advice on enjoying your life

Did you literally just use “there are fates worse than death” as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to “losing” (death), implying that a society that allows this to occur should change?
What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of “loss”?

you took my sentence and turned it into a novel
good job, almost like chatgpt
having been penny less and homeless with my family and surviving because it’s what my family does, has always done.
I have heard stories of life from my cousins who were born in Pine Ridge SD (look it up)
they are poor and hungry but I have explained my baseline of losing and being poor. What is your baseline?

What? What the hell do you even mean by “baseline”?
Again, what are you saying? You replied adversarially to someone who was making the point that society should be improved so as to not allow things like people starving to death, or becoming homeless. Are you agreeing with them or trying to shut them down?
Are you saying society barely doing anything to help people in such situations is fine, because you survived it? Because that is what it seems like, and my reply is in response to such an utterly insane take.
Society should prevent death and suffering as much as the available resources allow. Who the fuck cares where you draw the line for “good enough”?
If we can do better, then we should.
