“You can’t compare the level of happiness.”

He is 2 years younger than me, but I respect him a lot because of his challenging spirit. Both of us were interested in and worked in social impact market by traveling a lot around the world. One time, I was annoying about the distance between my life and life in emerging countries. Could I still recognize myself as a worker/contributor to emerging countries while I enjoy my life by spending a lot of money? Then he gave me this comment and this helps me a lot to have a new perspective to view social impact market and find my spot to work for.
