I'm angry about bragging stories and images on Facebook and blogs

If that's the case, I don't think I should just watch it, but I just end up watching it. I'm angry at the blogs and FBs of my classmates, neighbors, and people close to me. Images of sushi, karasumi pasta, and cakes were posted at the counter. I usually cook my own meals and don't often eat out. It can only count as many years. I can't do sushi because I don't have any money. There are many other things we are proud of, such as new cars, trips, and interiors. If I use up my savings, I can buy it too, but I'm worried if I don't have any savings for the future. They sent their children to private schools or became public servants due to connections.
I'm a full-time employee, and I'm disappointed that I'm living such a plain poor life even though I work. The images of eating out are particularly frustrating. Why did they go out of their way to take pictures of food and upload them?
At the end of the day, you just don't have to go around blogs like that. I know that, though.

Please take care of your own way of life.

 My name is Kameyama Junshi.
People who write such images and posts on FB and blogs find joy in it. And you won't ride it at all, right? But even if we know that, why do we look at it with interest? In my opinion, this is probably because people confirm their position (how they should behave) in relationships with others.
It is said that on the verge of his own death, Buddha was told, “Use yourself as a lamp, take care of yourself, don't worry about others, use truth (law) as a light, use truth (law) as a light, and base on nothing else.” (This teaching is commonly referred to as “the light of self and the light of the law.”) “Self-lighting” here means “be an independent self. Be a self that is not swayed by others.” I think that's it. You have different life values from your classmates and neighbors. Isn't that great? By all means, I want you to cherish your own way of life.

It may not have been a satisfactory answer, but I thought it would ease my feelings even a little, so I answered it.

It's the plan of a consumer society

 I use Facebook, too, but it's basically a “full-page ad.” It's not just banners. Most articles are “advertisements.” It's displayed to stimulate your desires and make you spend your money.
It is a mechanism where users “use it for free” in exchange for saying “you can look at advertisements.” While they say it's “free,” it controls quite a huge amount of “time,” “health,” and “desire.”
Rarely, there are people who have expressed their own policies or ideas, and people who report on volunteer activities, but it's really very rare. Those people may also have aspects such as “I want them to agree with their activities, I want praise,” and “they are trying to take something away from you” (myself included).
So I hit “Like.” “I'm glad the new car was good,” “I'm glad I ate out,” “I'm glad the trip was good,”... that's all. When I closed the screen, I couldn't remember how many “likes” I hit. I feel that this “power to go through” is so dangerous that “if you don't wear it in the future, your body will peel off.”

Jealousy tends to happen to people close to you

Jealousy is a form of anger.
In other words, it is anguish (cause of worry and suffering).
The cause of your worries and suffering is not someone else's, but your own anger.
If you answer the question “why are you uploading” that you have to ask others, I have to give answers that will relieve your worries and suffering... that's difficult!
If thinking about the reason for “why are you uploading” alleviates your anger towards those people, then it will be a solution to your worries and suffering.
However, in reality, I'm also a type of person who thinks “why are you uploading it,” so I was in trouble.
Well, it seems that jealousy is likely to happen to people close to you. My classmates' petite luxury is more frustrating than the royal family from a distant foreign country having a lot of fun.
I'm not jealous of people who have had great success in a world I'm not interested in, but I'm jealous of players of the same age who are very active in the sports I played.
In other words, the person you're jealous of is someone you have something in common with, and someone you have an element of familiarity with.
If you are jealous of the article about eating out, you actually like gourmet food, and the people who uploaded it are also uploading it because they like gourmet food. Actually, it might be someone you have similar interests with.
Think of the reverse side of jealousy as familiarity, so why not increase familiarity and control the stress of anger? ... are your answers too aggressive?

Be “friends” with yourself first

Facebook is a type of clothing.
These are clothes that adorn yourself.
If clothing is visual fashion, then Facebook is spiritual fashion.
That's why fashion sense is being questioned.
So people who only go to school with useless articles just don't have a sense of fashion.
People who are desperate to make themselves look better make that kind of upload.
It's all my alter ego. Humanity is also on full display.
That's where friends should be selected.
They just say “friends,” but are they actually really “friends”?
You're probably envious because “you haven't become” your actual “friend.”
“Nice!” Shouldn't we “learn” anything without it?
People who only appeal for their own happiness live in a mentality called the heavenly world.
The heavenly world is next to hell.
It's probably a state where you're trying to maintain a happy state in your brain by self-suggestion by showing off your happy self.
So I'm not really happy.
That's because it's a sad mentality of trying to be happy by “showing off” to others with that kind of upload.
You should first be “friends” with yourself.
People who can't be friends with themselves speak ill of others.
Make an effort to really make friends with yourself.
We look forward to your participation in the zazen session.
“Nice!” Your true intentions are questioned.
Really “I like it!” Otherwise, it's better not to do it “better!”
