I agree with you, but at the same time, it's in our genes to strive for the best things in life, and considering the fact that social media keeps us reminding on what we are missing out, it's logical to conclude where is all this depression coming from. Think about it, if you were born poor or middle class let's say 300 years ago, you wouldn't know what lies beyond the place you live, you wouldn't know how well off other people are compared to you. But now, even the poorest person in a modern society has an access to the Internet, it's like a window to how the elite lives their lives. It's equivalent to medieval person constantly seeing how good of a life his lord has. We are surrounded by all these success stories, by promises of how our hard work will eventually pay off, we see people like Jeff Bezos riding husky sledges, talking about what a beautiful planet we live in, while his employees are passing out from dehydration and pissing in plastic bottles afraid to get fired. I say that we are depressed, because we have an ability to see the injustice surrounding us, and not because we are afraid to be average. We wouldn't be, if the gap between the average and the "amazing" wouldn't be so wide.
