      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

      Communication is a good thing.

      But that’s not what most social media facilitates. The mainstream platforms were about staying in touch with friends and family, once, but now they are about parasocial celebrity worship and broadcasting your life in a fake light of endless positivity. All the while secretly hating the habit of feigned contentment, never realising everyone else is doing the same.

      Social media could be about sharing our passions, forming real and meaningful connections with other individuals around the world, as well as truly coming to know ourselves as a species on a global scale.

      Some small parts of it are exactly that.

      Those are the parts I’m trying to perpetuate and nurture, and though they are a tiny part of the whole thing right now, it does mean it isn’t all bad.

    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.
