I think this lesson can be valuable but I also feel like it can be flippant to the point of implying everyone's situation is equally bad or good, which is very dismissive of those in truly bad positions in life.

especially since this comic includes a poor dude and it goes like "at least his dog is still alive", bruh

Verging on toxic positivity.

Judging what a bad position in life is is pretty subjective.

There are some we can probably all agree on as a bad position, but none of those portrayed here fit those.
