"Envy is an ugly thing. There will always be someone who had it easier or
will do things better than you. It takes a smart person to work hard
and make the best of what you've got...and a pathetic one to have sour
grapes and feel they are owed what the other has. It's just a fact of
life...you aren't just living for yourself...you are living for your
posterity as well. Don't waste your time hating on others who had more
opportunities...create them for yourself and your children."
--Erik Gumbretcht FaceBook post on 12 August 2012When I read this post I agreed with it 100% and figured I could not say it better, so I quoted it, with permission of course!
It is so true. Envy will turn you ugly. Envy will destroy what you have because you are too busy wanting what someone else has. Envy is the "grass is always greener" soldier leading to unwanted and unintended consequences.
