The existence of a diversity of problems doesn't exclude those that can be considered less important than others. For example, that argument implies that nobody would clean the streets if there are more important things to invest money. Usually, that argument is used as a quick answer when oneself want to be excused of its behavour, but not for constructing anything real. It is like saying that everything is relative... doesn't help anything, only call to the inactivity or thing at things that you cannot achieve. Good things happen when there are people working on all the sides, not just the more important ones. Every little step forward is a wonderful step.
