How a 'Suite' experience causes Envy over Social Media

Remember the point about how social media causes envy (and maybe even depression)? Click HERE to freshen your memory.
Well, I recent heard about this when the DJ shared it over the radio and I sms-ed her for the link...Click HERE. It's about how this guy gave a detailed breakdown of his experience flying the SIA A380 flight from Singapore to New York -- and he flew first class on the suite! And get this, it cost a whopping S$23,000!!! Follow him on Facebook and the envy brims over as he details other kinds of experience he's been through that instantly relegate the 'suite experience' to a footnote. It makes you feel like an utter failure in life......Well, maybe not for you. Who knows, you may even surpass him in future!

GP Angle: Social media allows for the sharing of experience; but it can also result in envy (an even depression, as the article I posted in the first link above claims) on the part of the reader for whom those experiences are unattainable.
