A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I think it can be understood in two ways. We see the lives others present and compare them to our own, but other people are showing the best things in their live and may be exaggerating the good and trying to hide the bad.

On the other hand, I've heard the saying "we judge others for their actions and ourselves for our intentions." When we see others do bad things, we just think they are bad people, but when we do bad things we tell ourselves we may more often blame circumstances.
