IMO, peoples' values are AFU (probably from having a television in their houses for most of their lives). Being a lower class wage earner in this country, you're better off than about 95% of the world's population. Yet, we're unhappy because we see someone driving a BMW we can't afford and think little of our 2200 square-foot homes because some arsewipe on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" has a 22 bedroom mansion.
Envy is disgusting, and the whining that accompanies it merits flogging.
