"First World Problems" Is a Real Problem

        If you have ever heard the song "First World Problems" you probably laugh at its ridiculous nature, but if you listen closely to the lyrics, you will find that most of the "problems" that the singer states are actually things that people in first world countries will complain about.  For instance, I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people complain about how slow the 3G or 4G is on their smart phones, and I have been one to also complain how trashy my "dumb" phone is.  It really annoys me when they complain about "problems" like that, because while these people are complaining how "slow" their phones are, there are people out on the streets who have barely enough money to live off of.  People in this day and age are so used to the instant gratification that many lose patience with the small things in life.  An example of this is when people are in line at a fast food restaurant and the service is kind of slow, people get antsy and start to get angry with the workers.  How ridiculous is this? We cannot wait an extra 5-10 minutes for our food, and will get angry about not receiving food? This just shows how we cannot wait for anything, it has to be fast enough so that we can get on with our lives as soon as possible.  Another "first world problem" is when the water in the shower is too cold or even lukewarm.  This I have been known to complain about as well, because I am so used to warm water to shower in, not cold water.  This just shows how privileged we are, us Americans have it grand, we get clean, hot water to shower in, whereas in third world countries, people are getting diseases due to the lack of clean water, whereas everyday we get to shower in clean, warm water.  There needs to be a time where everyone stops for a second and realizes how privileged we are in these United States and start being more grateful that we DO have smartphones and fast food places, instead of living in a place that has dirty water or barely enough food for people to eat and live.
