Where does "sad and pathetic" end, though? I considered myself to be pretty well-read regarding most "struggles" experienced, because I read like a demon and had a family that regularly discussed current and historical events, from slavery and Civil Rights to the Holocaust and the Cambodian Genocide.
It wasn't until I got to college, when I learned (from friends of other cultures) about things like the Turkish atrocities against the Armenians. Does my lack of knowledge about the Armenian Genocide make me "sad and pathetic?"
