Envy

[soul_art]

Why is it that people seem to be becoming more envious of others?

Such a dislike of others wealth.  I can understand not liking a persons character if they are a braggart etc but to put people down becasue they have more than you is a waste of time and energy.

Thinking of how you would help this person, that group of people and use the money sooo much more wisely if YOU were wealthy.  I seem to read/hear this envy more and more and I have to wonder why.  jSurely part of becoming an adult is realising that life isn't fair....never has been and never will be so instead of stressing about how others use their wealth, be content with what you have, live your life to suit your circumstances, try to be a happy person and if you don't like your way of life, do something to change it.

not directed at anyone......just very much sick of the rubbish being heaped on anyone who is deemed "wealthy".

now I'm off to paint and be very happy that I can now afford to buy better quality paints eventhough I'm sure there are artists who can afford the VERY best paints made.

I think you must have been reading about a lot of unhappy people, if you are happy in your skin you would never need to envy anyone no matter what they have.

exactly margo......but some people equate money with happiness to their own detriment, instead of enjoying what they DO have.

I envy Politicians, Spots. They seen to be able to mark their own homework. *insert angry smiley here*

I write cheques. That Deputy Commissioner of Taxation must be one rich fellow. Whoever it is, considering the last gal resigned a week ago. Perhaps for a cruise on your yacht, Spot 🙂

 Ah yes, the 'Great British Expenses Scandal' - to wit, floating duck islands, and the fitting of mock Tudor beams, to name but two.

There's always room for one more on the Sirocco,amber;)

Spot!

I was going to ask if Rita Hayworth was ever a guest, and Orson crew 🙂

(As you have two yachts, they must be the Zaca and the Sirocco)
