Exactly!!! I agree that it's terrible how people judge anyone for pursuing some basic happiness, even as they celebrate people chasing dreams all the time, like climbing Mount Everest or whatever.
I sometimes think of it as hitting your thumb with a hammer - it hurts! No one would ever say that hitting your thumb with a hammer is worse than having thumb cancer - but it still hurts. It doesn't make us bad people for being upset at that, or for trying to avoid that pain, even if we can acknowledge other people have things worse.
