“Everyday I wake up and see my dad dress up in shirt pants to be a driver for some rich man. That man has a son around my age who goes to the top international school in my city. It pisses me off that here I am struggling to buy a second hand Samsung phone and that guy is enjoying life going to parties. All because he was born to a rich dad. Why did I have to be born to my poor parents? Is it wrong for me to hate that guy? I am preparing for JEE like crazy everyday and that guy will probably go to America for college without any hard work. I hate my life,” reads the rest of the post.

“Everyday a young boy wakes and sees your dad dressing up. This boy is an orphan, he works at a tea stall, does the dishes and gets beaten for small mistakes. He hates you for being richer,” posted a Reddit user.

A fourth wrote, “Comparison is a thief of joy. That person might be rich for you. You are rich for the child of the seasonal labourer who gets paid 400 rs a day. He might not get a chance to complete class 9. If you think I am exaggerating, welcome to the lives of the bottom 40%. You are pretty privileged because you know that you have to appear in JEE to get into IIT. For most 40% kid, the 500 rupees they have to pay for school is the most their parents can afford. Tldr: Stop blaming and crying for what you can not control. You can speak English, and it opens a whole wide world of opportunities. Accepting the fact that you are not at the bottom will help you a long way. Now, back to study. JEE aspirants don't lurk on Reddit.”
