Envy.
(noun) spite and resentment at seeing the success of another.

Envy.
(noun) the consuming desire to have everyone else as unsuccessful as you are.

Its perspective. There's one problem that plagues mankind is that we all look at things differently. Our biased nature gives us an inclination to saying how one things looks like, or doesn't look like.

Say, I have 2 drinks, one you like very much, and the other is something unpleasant. Both fills a mug at its halfway point. Somehow there seem to have a empty and full mug.

When we're envious, more often than not, our biasness takes over, and the bitterness comes in. Somehow that person who's more successful has something wrong. The envy seems to have opened your eyes and allowed you to see his/her bad points. And somehow these points are also realised by everyone around you.

Hmmm..funny ya? But that's us. We have a choice to use envy to our benefit. Most of the time, otherwise seems easier.

That's all I have for now. Just thought about envy, and decided to write it down. Till next blog, ciao.

(actually my aunt's rushing me to get going over to her place, I suddenly have alot to blog today. Think I'd revert to pen and paper.. )
