Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of jealousy and negative feelings arising from social media comparisons. He questions why one would waste time pondering over others' lives when there is work to do and things to love. He explains that success often comes from concentration on one's chosen field, whereas jealousy stems from being occupied with others rather than oneself. He notes that social media often triggers feelings of inferiority through superficial metrics like likes or physical appearance, warning that such jealousy can lead to undignified behavior like anonymous trolling.
