Many of us struggle with scrolling through Instagram or tapping through Snapchat stories and viewing the lives of others through our own lenses. It is in our nature as human beings to look to each other as rulers to measure our success, especially when a person seems to be receiving the benefit of having the perceived “upper hand”.
