Yeah you're right about that, every breath we take is a reason to thank God and be happy about it because in whatever condition we find ourselves and think we are passing or going through worse at that particular time feeling the whole world have turned against us, well that shouldn't be a reason for us to say I'll against God rather we should be thankful because being alive gives us the reason to do that.
According to your post and the scenario that you gave which is the real deal and facts that is happening in the world we live in.
We all should learn to cultivate the habit of being appreciative.
Yes... true, as bad as it is for us, there is always someone who is worse than us, but we should be grateful that we are alive and breathing and yet we can make choices and change the scenario of our lives.
