If someone has their leg broken with bone sticking out and another person who fell and now has a broken skin on their hands I should assume they feel more or less the same and shouldn't compare?

    That's not an apt comparison as we are comparing fundamentally different suffering/challenges.

    So we shouldn't compare some but should compare other types of suffering?

    I mean there are far more challenging and demading types of work that don't require physical labour. Streeming/being youtube personality is one of the least demanding and challenging work there is.

    You shouldn't compare different kinds of suffering as if they were suffering of the same kind.

    A mangled arm is much different from being very severely depressed. Yet you might struggle to say which is worse.

    I didn't, actually compared similar things both times.
