This type of message can be a source of comfort for those with no way out of the poverty and destitute life to which they find themselves and for that it may have good "intentions", however I have to agree with RR.

Too many people use this mental philisophy to accept their position and not strive for equality and change.  This give the unscrupulous people control and power to continue abusing others.

When used in the correct context (albeit, the very few instances that this can apply), this is a message of comfort.   In the vast majority of cases however, this message is just wrong and should not be encouraged!
