I did not intend to mean it that way. I agree, we all need to aspire for better life and sour grapes / self pity does not help.

My point is, there are good number of people living below poverty line. Usually poverty has many friends like unemployment, violence, long term health issues (sometimes terminal illness), self inflicted and external abuse. While they also need to aspire to do better, they start their life with a bigger handicap and hostile environment. They need higher amount of courage, conviction and persistence to make things better.

Since the question was based on comparison, wanted to put it in context.
