Some one has it worse

Have you ever been told that you can't feel sad because someone has it worse than you do?  It is something I've heard repeatedly.  I finally found it quote that I can fully endorse.

Telling someone they can't be sad because others have it worse is like saying someone can't be happy because others have it better.

 On the web page it was submitted 2 years ago, if I heard it before I don't remember.  What I feel is my feeling.  Someone else cannot tell me what I feel is not of value if someone else is feeling it better or worse.
