Though I complain a lot, but I know that I am living a pretty awesome life. I was taught to admire people, and less envy. They may be very a like, but admiration gives me a impulse, an urge that makes me want to work for what I want.
Firstly, envy can easily turn into jealousy and hatred. A year ago, I haven’t experience “jealousy” yet. Maybe I did, but it wasn’t obvious enough to let me acknowledge it is. This year, it appeared in my life, it revealed itself. When I feel the hot blood rushing into my head with the eyes about to have tears leak out, and felt like my heart was tangled together, I knew right then, that was jealousy. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling to have, it was painful. You feel like the whole world is burning into ashes as you soul roam with agony. Usually when you see people with pretty faces, As on report cards, and talented at various subjects, they are all just fine, nice people. But when being pretty or having a certain talent actually makes a difference, the sense of envy will burst out.
Secondly, when you have a certain talent, people admire you, and also envy you. You feel your heart aching when someone tells you “I wish I could be as talented as you,” or things like that. You might enjoy at first taking that as a compliment, but did they know how hard you worked for it? If they never set any effort on to this subject, why do they have the right to say that? Have you ever felt that way? The only time you can envy someone, is when you did as much or more effort into the subject as the others did. That way you are showing the person respect through the sense of envy.
