      Envy has existed far longer than social media, none of these things would go away if social media doesn’t exist. Social media just amplifies it.

      Comparison has always been the thief of joy.

        Yep, “keeping up with the Jones’s” was a phrase I heard growing up in the 1980s

        Also, attachment leads to suffering

    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.

      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.
