You should experience what it is like grow up in the third world country, and realize not to take yourself so seriously.

At least your son has doctors and a hospital to go to. Watching people die of starvation makes you realize how unimportant all this stuff mostly is.

I hope your baby is doing better.

Is it not possible to learn this lesson with a parent, sibling, or some other loved in intensive care?

Not exactly, kids are different. Speaking from experience.

I would have to disagree. Also speaking from experience.

Sorry about your son but this post has nothing to do with people taking themselves seriously.

Downvoters, care to explain yourself?

Likely because your comment, while possibly on accurate, isn't necessary. While keeping comments on-topic is important, in this case, it's probably better to just let it be.
