      I can assure you that there is a lot more psychological and physical strain in monotonous physical work. A month in a factory made me appreciate my desk job in IT like nothing else in the world. Obviously burn out exists and destroys your motivation and ability to do things.

          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.
