Which makes me wonder, why is someone's sadness proportional to how much they have or don't have?

Could not agree more. Depression is far more than what you do or do not have. I have battled depression since I was 12. I was depressed when were were lower middle class. I was depressed when we were middle class. I am depressed now that we're poor. I battle it regardless of what I do or do not have. And it hurts no matter what.
But that's exactly it. It's hard to know what anyone else is going through. That expression about walking a mile in someone else's shoes comes to mind..
The best thing to do is not wonder what another person is going through. Nor is it to envy them. I think it is to try to be there for them as best as you can.
