    You're comparing yourself to a person who sounds like they were born to significantly more wealth and privilege than you were. More than most humans on earth, frankly. A regular human comparing their life to a rich person's is like a difference of species.

    I think it's important to emphasize this otherness between the rich and the rest of us. They're a tiny minority of comfortable people living with far more than they or several generations of their family could ever need, all to live this alien lifestyle at the expense of the rest of us, and the planet itself.

    You shouldn't envy these people, both because it does nothing but make you feel shitty and give them a sort of spiritual victory over you, but also because envy implies a part of you that wants that life for yourself, when you shouldn't want it to exist at all because of the harm it causes to everyone and everything else.
