Being happy means adjusting your wants to what you have.

Oh I guess I should be happy that ICE only raided my neighbors and not me. Amirite?

    Well...yes? Are you not happy you did not get raided? Would you rather have had that you also got raided?

    My point is: Just because someone isn't "suffering as much as others" doesn't mean the stuff they go through (like the fears of ICE for example) aren't valid.

    Both points are true:

    1. You can recognize that, yes you have it better than others.

    BUT ALSO:

    1. It doesn't mean you should accept status quo forever.

    Because accepting status quo is like saying, "why are you complaining about trump? at least you aren't in taliban afghanistan or north korea"
