People here like to talk about people's lives a lot and compare but there is no metric of measure to what is good or bad

People who have worked hard to get where they are tend to dislike it when people who have put in far less effort seem to be happy and carefree.
A minor example would be student loan forgiveness. Of course it's understandably frustrating to have worked for perhaps years and years to pay off ones loans only to see others literally not having to do all that same amount of work.
At the same time, if that forgiveness had been offered to them, it's probably unlikely that they would've declined the offer and chose to pay off their loans the old-fashioned way.
Its just one of those 'it is what it is' situations. The frustration is understandable but it's also more or less pointless I guess, unless the goal is to undo the loan forgiveness and ensure everyone ever has to always work off their loans by hand.
That's just an example though. I think we all want to feel "better than" others in a way, as opposed to feeling "less than" others..I mean that's human nature.. so we don't like those we feel better than, to be happy, especially when we feel they didn't earn it or deserve that happiness.

Specific attributes don’t make a person generally better than you.

I would add to that and say that when one is with a group they consider their peers i think it becomes a question of wanting to feel equal to that group of peers and not only be regarded as such but treated as such as well. Especially in groups that are organized a certain way, like a merit based hierarchy within an organization or company for instance. But other social situations as well.

u know how when u have to baby sit or maybe eat two different apples and someone says which one was better
there's no one way to describe which or why, but we can objectively say i am better than most men in a lot of ways

These delusional thoughts are why you will never achieve anything.

If you have to convince people you’re important, or better than them, then you’re neither.

Where I'm from, it would seem the goal is to be the first one to get the next red light. Race me to the same spot we're both gonna be stopped at!
