More/less
If I want to say a situation is seeming to be worse than another, which should I use more or less?
This is more than an accident. It's a disaster!
This is less than an accident. It's a disaster!
This is more than a humiliation. It's a murder of my right.
This is less than a humiliation. It's a murder of my right.
Thank you very much in advance.
