Exactly so. Just because someone has had it worse does not mean your own suffering is irrelevant-- nor does others having it better be any reason to take away from you feeling joyful or content.
It appears to be a visualization of how people view their own pain versus other's pain. I'm sure it's supposed to be something more profound, but after four years of doctor's office and lab waiting rooms that's the first thing that pops into my mind. There's always that one person that's in so much more pain, so much sicker than everyone else.
