I often use the phrase 'Its all relative' if someone makes a comment about another comment another person has made. The point I'm trying to make is that one's perspective is often (but not always) affected by your most recent experience of something similar. There are many examples of this, such as 'my mobile phone is rubbish', when you are used to an iPhone costing 3 times the price; 'the quality of this shirt is poor' for when you usually buy more up market stuff to wear, and the most common one we hear now is 'it's too hot to do anything' when all it means is that we are not used to it being this hot and therefore struggle to adapt.
Its the adapting bit we struggle with.
