Well ya, that''s kind of why they're CHILDREN. Contrary to popular belief, children are NOT "small adults". Their brains work differently (it's still forming), and until a certain age (I don't recall when) they are not able to picture a world outside of their surroundings. 

 

You are also overlooking all of the different reasons such children would be crying over something so "trivial" as having their favorite toy taken away. You could be right in that they're just being silly, but what other factors are responsible for them having the toy taken away?

 

If they're being punished for doing something wrong, then yes it is trivial, but if it's being taken away because one of their parents is being vindictive and can't stand to see other people being happy when they are not (shockingly, that actually happens). 

 

What if the child got a C on their report card, and to punish that child the parents decide to take away the toys? That is another valid reason to cry because how does taking away toys cause them to magically improve their grades? What if the child needed help with that subject, but they were unable to receive it (for a number of reaosons) from their parents (yes, this happens too). 

 

In both cases the crying child is the victim of emotional abuse which (shockingly) can be as bad, if not worse, than psychical abuse.

 

Am I putting way too much thought into this? 

 

Of course. 

 

Yes...I totally missed that...

 

 

Or not...

 

 

 

If you want me to expand on that then it's inconsequential to the first world child that someone has it worse off than them in a third world country. 

 

I will never understand the idea that because "someone has it worse off than you" that you should not be upset that your father is dead. Oh sure, you may have more things to be happy about than someone else, but you're father is still ****** dead. Depending on how attached the child was to their father their emotional reaction can vary, but generally they're still going to be extremely upset.

 

This child isn't going to suddenly go "Oh well, my father's dead, but I have all these great toys to play with! There's no reason for me to be sad!". The Western world doesn't work like that.

 

 

 

I would prefer to still be a lurker. 

 

I'm just waiting for the community to go full toxic after DAI comes out so I can take a break again.

 

Sorry, but I think I'm done arguing with people for a while. Why can't people just let me win? =)
