Frankly, life is hard for some people. It can be really hard. If you are well educated about the contrasts between people's experiences, you'd appreciate and pardon some people. Some people are going through really terrible things in life.
Sometimes, I'll tell people that they will need a laptop for the skills they want to learn. Months go by, and they still don't have a computer. Not because they do not want one, but because they can't afford it. Life is not too decent with them, financially.
Some people are hungry. They don't get to enjoy the luxury of three-square meals like you do. And there is nothing wrong with them, it's just the circumstances of life they are faced with. Morgan Housel once said, "You'd be mistaken if you assume people are rich because of their hard work, and others are poor because of their laziness." Most people are incredibly hardworking. And intelligent. And they make efforts to become more, but eventually, life isn't so candid with them.
The point is that when you become well-versed in observing life and human experiences, you become more tolerant of some people. SOME people. You'd need a higher level of empathy and sophistication to reach that level. But, it's possible.
