Human Envy on Social Networks
The article "How to be happy when everyone else‘s life looks perfect" written by Moya Sarner is devoted to the discussion of the problem of human envy.
First, the author draws our attention to envy on social networks.As we all know, social networks, such as Instagram, Vk, Facebook and so on were created not only for communication between people, but also for sharing news, photos or videos with them. Being on social networks, we expect people to see their actual life on their accounts but it is not always so.... In most cases we face to a photoshopped life on social networks or, in other words, just an edited verson of reality.
The author analyzes that ordinary users take these photoshopped pictures at face value and start being depressed or even envious about it. Moya Sarner gives an example of women who begin to follow certain beauty gurus on Instagram just to find new techniques in make-up, hair, nails and end up envying the women they follow. As women who have thousands followers on instagram always have perfect body, face, hair, make-up and so on. In addition, ordinary users on Instagram start to compare their beauty with these perfect women and start being envious and feel even worse about themselves.
Moya Sarner emphasizes that no one age group is immune from envy. Moreover, every social network makes everything possible to compare our own life with others.But we should remember that there are a lot of people on the Internet who just wishful thinking and boast about how wonderful their lives are.
The author pays attention to people who really have wonderful lives do not even think to post it on social networks because they are too busy or ,probably , too clever for it. They live their lives for themselves and they do not try to impress others.
Finally, we should remember that in most cases we see an edited version of reality, photoshopped pictures of people who wishful thinking and that is why we should not be depressed or even envious about it.
