This is highly suggestive advertising. I live in a first world country & I’ve never said “My house is so big, I need 2 wireless routers.” Sounds more like these are wealthy people’s problems being read. Suggesting that everyone who lives in a first world country is well-off is ridiculous. I agree that people in third world countries need help, but there are people in first world countries who need help as well. There’s a homeless person sitting on the street right now who could have read these statements as well.
The entire point of the video is that the stuff we complain about in first world countries would not even rank as a problem in a third world country. And I don’t really think ONLY wealthy people say all these things. They’re not saying “This is stuff that every person living in a first world country says all the time” They’re showing how stupid it is to complain about the line being too big at Starbucks, or having to wait an extra ten minutes for the bus when these people do not have access to clean drinking water. You missed the entire point of the ad.
This makes u realize how stupid we sound complaining about material shit that is not important. These poor kids don’t have a cell, a charger, or even a bed to sleep in and its sad…I’m going to go count my blessings..
This video provides clarity & perspective on how privileged most people are. We complain over & take for granted the smallest things. It’s a reminder/wake up call for us all to do better. Life is about relationships; how well we treat each other.
If you can do something kind for someone else, then do it. Not for the accolades or rewards, but, simply because it’s the right thing to do. That should be all of humanity’s collective mission & legacy.

This was incredibly moving… But I really do hate when my neighbors block their WiFi. Keep that ish open, no password.

I hate it when I have to feel guilty about bitching about bullshit problems..
I hate when 1st world people get mad because someone brilliant reminded them that they sound like idiots when they complain about bullshit.
