Not quite. The implication I got from his statement is that all hardships are equal (they are not) and that your god does not give someone more than they can bear (it does). This is not a one up, tit for tat. He is saying that he experienced hardship. I am merely pointing out that there are tens of thousands if not tens of millions who would gladly exchange their hardships for his.
There are days when I think my life sucks. All I h ave to do is think of what my family went through to realize that my life definitely does not suck in the slightest. May not be what I want, but it certainly does not suck.
