Who has the most pain in the world?
Easy.
The person you are speaking to you who is sharing their pain.
It is true: Whatever they are going through is not as bad as Auschwitz where your grandparents suffered. And it isn't as bad as having ALS [Lou Gehrig's machala] or being both blind and deaf. But from THEIR perspective, their suffering is the worst. They are not experiencing or thinking about any other suffering and thus by comparison it ain't so bad. They are totally immersed in their own pain.
So when WE SUFFER we can remind ourselves that it could be much much much much worse and that we are surrounded by infinite brachos. But this perspective shouldn't make us insensitive to the suffering of others.
