I understand how you feel, and while I agree with you to a certain extent, I'm reminded of a particular behavior children make, which I will embody into a quote: "Just because you closed your eyes doesn't mean the monster is gone."

Also "Ignorance is bliss." Which could be interpreted either way.

I guess it's a combination of current position and what you value.

I was already paid reasonably well which likely helps take this position. Once that threshold is met I value happiness over a bit more money.

If I was frustrated with my income I'd likely be viewing the tax info and looking for negotation points, or knowing a company is a poor payer in general.

No 'right' answer, only what is right for you.

Somebody else earning more than you is not a monster that will eat you, though.
