How is vanity related to first world problems?

When we heard the world problem we instantly start thinking about serious things, the consequence of something big, something that could change us and shape us and we can even become overdramatic about about this specific issue. But then if you paid close attention to the title you would know by now that this is not going to be about troubles or real struggles that demand importance.

Let’s just begin to point out some definitions so we can start getting to the real stuff:

What does vain even means? “Excessive pride in one’s appearance, qualities, abilities, achievements, etc.; character or quality of being vain; conceit” (Citroën, 2014)

And of course as stated before in this blog first world problems stand for “A relatively trivial or minor problem or frustration” (Oxford Dictionaries, 2017)

But what would they even be connected in the first place? It may seem as though they don’t have anything in common but truth to be told if you start to think hard about it you could say that most of these struggles have their roots on vanity since people who complain about problems of the first world are basically complaining about commodities that many people in the world don’t get at all.
