Envy
This video is so dang good

ContraPoint's Envy. It's almost 2 hours long, but it's so worth watching through. It really does cover a lot of important topics and perceptions that are getting worse in the modern day and it really does line up to my statements that the Publicness of us with social media is what has made us all for the worse. While I had not pinned envy as one of the potential vector points when I talked about it, I agree now that it's part of it.
One quote that's real important:
"I wish more people could feel things, without rushing to a 'rational' defense of the feeling."
I feel this sentiment so much. The whole reason I'm as emotionally healthy as I am is because I permitted myself to feel every ugly feeling I got as well as identify it. I was fully aware there were some petty and spiteful feelings I had, but I allowed myself to feel them rather than beat myself down because I felt them or try to justify them. They were just A Thing I was feeling and I needed to let myself feel it out until it leveled and I could go back to the problem and address it, rather than address the feeling. And I agree that I wish more people would just accept that they're going to feel things they don't like, and it's just the experience of Being.
