Hey! Pay attention at the back! :)  You're a psychologist. You know
it's all relative.
If you give a group of people 100 USD each, they go away very happy.
But if you tell them that group B got 500 USD each, they promptly
become unhappy, jealous and feel unfairly treated.
It shouldn't make any difference. They still have their 100 USD each,
but humans aren't wired like that.
