Put aside all the brainy definitions, to me, 'Envy' and 'Jealousy' is the same thing. ‘Envy’ is just a made-up word to make ‘jealousy’ looks good. Although both refer to negative thoughts, ‘envy’ seems to have a slight positive element; it inspires to improve whereas ‘jealousy’ has a tendency towards destruction.
I envy friends (same age) that have ‘made’ it in life. ‘Made’ here meaning:
1. they’re drawing more than me
2. they have all the time in the world to do whatever they like ( worst-being paid just to do that)
3. Owning my dream car or any luxury car (damn!)
4. Able to jet set around the world with ease
5. The ‘Braves’ – resign from a stable job and set up own business (and earning more than before! cis!)
2009 is drawing to an end and I think there is still time to look around and question ourselves about the future. Do we still want to stay in our comfort zone and remain envious of others? Or be adventurous, venture into new line of business and stretch ourselves to the limits!?
Please give me the strength…
