The urge to become famous and the associated risks and anxieties become intractable.
The wider we can cast our net around the selection of society, the more people we have to compare ourselves to and the more inadequate we are likely to feel.
It's now possible to compare yourself to an almost endless amount of people of different cultures, jobs, wealth, religions, fitness levels, relationship happiness levels and all the rest.
The difficulty is that we'll constantly be feeling in almost all of those places, and the more we compare ourselves to this, the worse we will absolutely feel.
With the onset of the eye and the even better smartphone in our pockets, we are pinged information tailored to make us feel like this more and more because it sells.
"Did you wake up tired this morning?" That's the line from Lazy Boy's famous song, Underwear Goes Inside the Pants, that the drug companies use to try and sell your drug in the United States.
I watch my dogs as they wake up in the morning, and they're always tired. They have to stretch and yawn, and it takes them a little while to get going.
It just doesn't seem acceptable for a human who should spring out of bed, run 10 miles, look absolutely gorgeous, have a great relationship, be enormously successful at work and never have a problem or difficulty.
It's the same old story with the same old problems and culprits; it just gets faster, and the faster it gets, the harder it seems for us to do anything about it.
