diamond rings come to mind, i dont know why some people have a bone to pick with lab-grown diamonds, does the horrible labor behind mining make the “real thing” better?

Not just products but life as a whole.

Too many people have the mentality of “If I suffered, you should to”, or equate their value to their suffering “Suffering builds character”, “You only slept 6 hours? Try 4 like me”.

Humanity has an unhealthy obsession with suffering equating validation.
