I had a colleague once who got a visit from a student doing a version of 'woe is me'. He went on to explain life variance to her with some equations and whatnot, and suffice it to say it did absolutely nothing for her in any way.
LOL I can imagine.
In a more society-wide setting 'woe is me' tends to be more complicated, and I don't know what the answer is. If you take the plight of minorities in many countries, the 'woe is me' is understandable and the way to resolve it is to try to resolve the cause if you can. But it's complicated.
It's probably important to accurately identify the problem. For example, the concepts often found in political discussion include that an economy is a zero-sum game (it's not). Those concepts are probably a faulty base from which some people derive their faulty prescriptions.
