Today's society is based on "be like the Jones's"... it's what drives advertising, marketing... everything.
It's what makes girls depressed when they can never look as good as the cover models they see every day.
It's what makes guys think that they have to drive the newest edition luxury or sports car just to be somebody.
It's stupid, and childish... but it's the way society is today. The reason depression rates are up today isn't because life is harder, it's because there's so many forms of "perfection" thrown in your face that you can never live up to, and that's what you have to compare your life to.
The trick is to live your life on your own terms... whether rich or poor, big or small... don't compare yourself to anyone else, or anything that some faceless corporation tells you to be like... just be happy with who you are, what you have and what you've accomplished. And in the end, you'll be a better person for it.
