  1. I believe a big part of this is inequality, exposure and self comparison, which are all basically the same thing. As a person who lives in a 3rd world country, as it's called, I see that those who don't have Internet social medias are happier, those who don't live in the capital city (those who can't normally see the mansions and the slums) are happier and those who, even though they know inequality exists, they don't really feel/see it around them (like me) are happier. It's not about the existence of inequality, but that if you feel it or not. A rich society with less bragging is much happier than a rich one with more bragging/luxury. That's actually one of the reasons I support not taxing wealth, but taxing luxury and unutilized wealths
