The Envy Is Real
We have the smartphones that we carry with us 24/7, always able to catch what other people are up to and feel envious about it.
Even if we use logic and intellect to tell ourselves that the images that we see on social media may not be real or factual, as they can be edited/filtered, they still affect us on an emotional level.

Self-Envy
It is an emotional feeling of being envious of our own created avatar on social media.
When a person curates, edits and filters his life to show the very best, it doesn't seem to match the actual life led by the person, making it seem like someone else.

Envy and Hatred
Envy is much more than just craving the lifestyle a person sees his friends or peers having.
Envy is deep-rooted hatred, a feeling of wanting to destroy the other person who you think is having a better life than you are. It is silently destructive and malice oriented.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
