It’s different. You shouldn’t compare suffering.
If someone has their leg broken with bone sticking out and another person who fell and now has a broken skin on their hands I should assume they feel more or less the same and shouldn’t compare?
That’s not an apt comparison as we are comparing fundamentally different suffering/challenges.
So we shouldn’t compare some but should compare other types of suffering?
You shouldn’t compare different kinds of suffering as if they were suffering of the same kind.
A mangled arm is much different from being very severely depressed. Yet you might struggle to say which is worse.
