If you read previous post where I talk about envy, you may get impression that I’m against any thinking about other people.
It’s totally opposite. Other people has different path in life than you, so they received different influences and create different wisdom than you. Other people are valuable source of information how to improve your life.
However, many people when look to other people activate just one biased feeling, they tend to think either all people are better then them or they are better then all other people. Most of a time neither is true.
Today mass media create one dangerous feeling in people. We think we know people we didn’t ever see, just because we are seen picture of them, products they produce and some carefully crafted half facts about them. After some time, we start to believe in that there are may people that are just better.
And to conclude different just think about scandals, suicides and stuff like that. Look for most notorious examples like Amy Winterhouse, Britney Spears. Do you really think that deep inside they are happy persons? And they have all money and fame you can imagine. Do you really think just because there is no new scandal about your favorite star that he or she is necessary feel happy and fulfill with life?
If you reserve your feelings only to people that you know in person you will rarely have any chance to feel envy, because every person has some good and bad side, some problem and some solution.
Use good solutions, and help when you can do it productively with problem is receipt for happy life.
