I don't envy anyone. Some things are meant to be, some are not, and I'm not going to beat myself up everyday thinking about what I do or don't have compared to other people. "Let things flow", as the saying goes.

There are people better off and worse off than you. Whether or not you decide to tip the scales in your favor is a matter of doing something about it instead of complaining about how much life sucks because you can't get this or can't do that.

Only thing to say is envy leads to the darkside of one's behavior so I simply choose not to go there shall we say..

I've been thinking about this idea of envying other people since I posted pages ago so I've been checking to see. But if I'm completely honest, no I don't think I feel envy but the reason isn't due to some angelic nature, I think it's because I might be conceited. yikes. :oops: :cry: :oops:

I should probably work on that.
