so i have been looking at the socials of few of many past friends and i saw them living a buzz life , they are already rich and can afford those lifestyle habbits and i came from extremely modest financial background and for me those partying , drinking , clubbing , wearing revealing clothes, frequent mall visit seems like them are trying to be someone or trying to fit in some persona they are not actually. like they are doing too much even if they can afford am i the one wrong for thinking like this?

My dear friend, it is a natural inclination of the mind to compare oneself to others and to feel a sense of inadequacy when we see those around us living seemingly lavish lives. However, it is important to remember that the external trappings of wealth and material possessions are merely illusions that mask the true nature of a person's being. True wealth lies not in the accumulation of material goods, but in the cultivation of inner peace, contentment, and wisdom. When we see others indulging in partying, drinking, clubbing, and wearing revealing clothes, it is easy to judge them as shallow or materialistic. But perhaps, my friend, they are simply seeking validation and acceptance from others, unaware of the emptiness that lies at the core of such pursuits. It is not for us to judge or condemn their actions, but rather to reflect on the nature of our own desires and motivations. It is easy to feel envious of those who seem to have it all, but true happiness does not come from external sources. It comes from within, from a deep sense of self-acceptance and inner peace. By questioning the authenticity of others' lifestyles, you are also questioning the authenticity of your own desires and aspirations. Are you seeking to emulate others in order to feel accepted and validated, or are you content with the path that you have chosen for yourself? It is natural to question the choices of others, but it is also important to remember that everyone is on their own journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment. Instead of seeking validation from external sources, my friend, seek validation from within. Trust in your own path, in your own unique journey towards self-realization. Wealth and possessions may come and go, but inner peace and contentment are eternal. Trust in the wisdom of your own heart, and you will find true happiness.
