Jeez, dude. Ever live through a tsunami? Survive a war? Be a refugee? Just because you're getting kicked in the balls doesn't mean you're a doormat. And it sure as shit doesn't mean the middle-brow assholes you run into want to hear about it. Or, if they are the perverse NPR sorts who make a holiday of other people's misery, you don't need their pity. There's a lot of shit that can happen that makes you wonder if you were really lucky to survive. But a good coffee is still good, a cool breeze is still refreshing.

Is it really worth going through that? Just so you can enjoy a few luxuries if fate is feeling up to it?

Sometimes you don't have much of a choice what you experience. You could whine about it, or pity yourself, or like OP said, take those few snatches of pleasure where they come.
