The internet is an interactive comic book.
The people you see and read about are not "normal people." The difference between you and batman is the same as you and any other rich kid. Blind luck, broken chance, and if being rich and famous was obtainable by nobody's like us the person reading our story would get bored enough to put the book down.
The internet is meant to share the stupidly impossible parts of the world we would never otherwise see. Search algorithms make it worse by showing our preferred version of what we "think" perfect should look like instead of the unfiltered chaos of it all. Click bait is click bait for a reason. Because people click on it.
Good luck planting trees and staring at dirt. Hopefully the silence will help you relax a little more.
