I’ve never understood the argument that you shouldn’t complain about the environment you interact with because other people interact with worse environments.
I call this the “children of Africa” -argument. Basically, it’s an argument that you can never complain about anything or do anything to better something, because “some kids are starving in Africa”; someone always has it worse. It’s purpose is to belittle and brush aside either the problem worded out or the person saying it (or both).
The Finnish word for love is indeed “rakkaus” (I love you = (minä) rakastan sinua), for anyone wondering. With a hard r and two hard k’s I doubt many non-natives would guess it means love

That could be worded as “things that seem terrible to us, actually aren’t, our understanding is just limited” or something along those lines, to make it a somewhat valid sounding argument. Obviously though that would still make any god shitty for giving us the ability to perceive the suffering, so it’s basically “god is evil” end result as well
