As the population of civilisation, have we ascertain inconspicuous markers of success?

Do we have a flourishing career and a nice house? Are you married? Are you healthy and conventionally fit? More often than not, we compare ourselves to those we feel have already reached these “accomplishments” — even if their actual reality may be different than what we perceive or if our personal definition of success isn’t on par with someone else’s.

I don't think they are inconspicuous at all.

We are an obsessive, icon-type of culture, so we want to be like other people. When we start using comparison, that's when we start setting invisible markers.
