Envy

How often do we feel envious? Daily? What is envy? This is the feeling when someone has what we do not have, when someone lives as we would like, but we do not. But do the people really have what we do not? Are they really are, who we would like to be? Often we see only one side of the coin, only one half of human life. More than once have I heard that people are envy for the way that I live, because it seems that I am always happy. But those people did not see all of my sleepless nights deciding what I will do next. They did not see any of those days, when I withdrew, and granted one day at home, away from everybody. They do not see what is going on my inside. However, this is going on in each of us. We are all not so different as we think. We are all fighting our own internal battles, with our inner demons and enemies. Those who win more, for those we envy. However, how much do they really win? I once felt envious for a friend who is a successful actor. I feel envy for his major achievements and the respect that it provided around him, I thought that his life is perfect, and he lives the way he wants. But once we sat down together and began a discussion on the problems and the difficulties of our lives, when we shared our views on them, this friend said: “You know, I feel a little bit envious about the way you live.”. Imagine ... The man, whom I was envious to, was envious of me. Where is the logic? ;] I say, if someone does what you want to do, but do not, do not be envious, but let you be inspired by the activity of that other person and start doing something you would like to do yourself. Start to be the best you can be in this world and life. And do not envy ... Because you may never know when someone else is envious to you. Envy is a paradoxical feeling, do not give it too much though, but realize why are you envious and get rid of it. So before the next envy think again and to the person that you are envious of inspire you to enjoy and follow your own achievements.
