One of the recent trends of the last few years has been exceptional individuals with large platforms telling you how your life actually is and why the things they have aren't important but why do they do this and why is it so pernicious to do it in the first place?

I was hoping that this video would be what the title said: Your life is actually amazing. And The Great Gaslighting part would be everyone trying to tell us that our lives are terrible because we're not on their level. Stardusk, do you remember the Beggar Prince in Elder Scrolls lore? He was given the gifts of pity and disregard by the daedric prince, Namira, after begging at her feet for 33 days. He was "cursed" by her with an always visible disease that would make him repulsive, but also move men to pity. The Beggar Prince eventually became just that: a prince among beggars, wealthy and knowing all the secrets of the city. The gifts of physical beauty and more money than sense absolutely have crippling downsides. Every hand that we're dealt in life is a two-edged sword.
