Alla: 

Del? The only reason I brought up those quotes was your statement 
that Ron does not have a "poor me" syndrome. I wanted to show that he 
does.

By itself, every one of his complaints is normal, together it gets a 
bit much for me.


The fact that he complains a lot does not cause me to hate him. I 
understand that he is a teenage boy, but I expect him to grew out of 
this and I think he did in OoP
.

Which perspective I was talking about?  That material things in life 
are important , but not as important as having your loved ones around 
you.
