And we criticize people. Strange somehow. try to do it the other way round. What an ugly tree (sounds ridiculous)! What a beautiful soul.
You will end appreciating people and nature.

I like Instagram. The app steals some of my time, but I don't know what else I would do in those minutes. I follow people with similar interests, keep up to date with exhibitions, books, my favorite football players. Of course, I also follow my friends and acquaintances. I don't know why they do it, but I notice how many people ostentatiously post pictures of themselves enjoying luxury. They smile in front of laden plates in luxury restaurants, gaze over the edge of an infinity pool or show off their purchases. There's nothing wrong with that. I like luxury too. And unfortunately I indulge in it far too often. However, it would never occur to me to photograph myself consuming luxury. On the contrary, it would be embarrassing. Embarrassing because I know that I am incredibly privileged compared to the vast majority of people. But that's not the main reason. What hinders me is the nature of everything that falls into the category of luxury. By definition, luxury is something you don't necessarily need. Which goes far beyond what is essential for any life (that's why I wouldn't call art and culture a luxury). In my personal experience, luxury primarily serves to fill an inner void. When I feel the need for luxury, I am usually unsatisfied in some aspect of my life. And that's exactly what I don't want to externalize. So my aversion to this type of social media post is also a form of self-protection. I don't want to be perceived as the person who needs all this to be happy. It's actually quite a narcissistic trait.
