I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings

Jealousy can take many forms. We could just envy somebody for what they have and become obsessed with "why we don't have it". It consumes us. It could be the smallest thing or the biggest thing. It could be money and material things, or it could be immaterial things like a love of a father or a mother, it happens among siblings.

The fact is there are preferences, there will always be someone who is better looking, smarter, more knowledgeable, makes more money, there are people who get more appreciation. It's a fact, and sometimes it's clearly "unfair".

However, in some of those things .. simply doors have been opened for other people that were not opened for us, and other doors were opened for us. But what happens is that we want the same things that somebody else has.

Each one of us was not made like anyone else. And the doors of provision that were opened for you were not opened for other people. Each one of us has a unique set of opportunities, and we should work hard to get the best from within whatever we've been given, not comparing ourselves to anybody else.

It just sucks when you want something so bad and you know you'll never have it. I don't think its unfair, like you stated. Some people just have better luck than others.

@JarJarBoom I agree with you. I would replace "luck" with "blessings" though. It always depends on what we focus on. Envy comes to our hearts when we focus on what we don't have. Everyone of us was blessed with so many things and we will be happier if we just focus on that.

Yesterday at my job my coworker said... “You are skinny and have no boobs or ass so no man can ever love you.” And I’m sitting here thinking how can you stop people from being jealous? Play along and act? Be like... yes I am ugly and nobody likes me, I’m a piece of shit?

How can we stop others from being jealous?

@Specialyouare Just ignore them, and move on. Life will prove them wrong.
