The culture of - look at all these people who have it better than you

i am tired of constantly being bombarded with images/stories of people who have it better than me. it's seriously what's wrong with humanity. people/tv/internet are obsessed with celebrities, sports figures, millionaires, and guess what, all this is making 99% of the world feel bad! and perpetuates feelings of inadequacy, depression, anger, hatred, you name it.

instead of thinking - why am i not a millionaire/pro athlete/celebrity, how about thinking - i am so happy i am not a bum, criminal, in jail, needing a kidney, etc etc etc. percentagewise, you are much more likely to be on the bottom, then you are on top, yet culture does not continuously make an impact on that.

if you look at tv - what do they show? constant shows about rich people who have everything - housewives, kardashians, musicians, dancing with the stars,etcetc. what they rarely show? shows about drug addicts, unemployed, uneducated, people at the bottom.

that's why i like watching russian news. they are not obsessed with BS, they show regular people, orphanages, bums, accidents, european news, etc, things that make me feel good about what i have.
