All our insignificant problems ....

The other day during lunch our conversation turned ,as it naturally would to our problems. One colleague complained about her diet problem, another about a new salon who ripped her of & I started complaining about the increasing prices of the restaurant I frequent. Then someone in the group said , "These are really First World problems."

And we all shut up, having been told that our problems didn't matter. I myself didn't even know what that meant, but I wasn't about to say so in front of everyone else, having already been informed that my conversation was unworthy! If you look it up, First World problems are those experienced by people in wealthy, civilized countries, as compared with problems experienced by people in the Third World countries, like hunger.

Still I was kind of bugged, because everyone knows that the Third world has HUGE problems, but that's not where we live. So we have First World problems. We never said we had Worst World problems. they are still problems to us. And if we cant talk about First World problems. I might never utter another world. Also I wouldn't have anything to write about. That would be the death of all blogs!

I would love this First world problem ...lol...
