It's Hard...

Many a times, as we proceed through this arduous and challenging journey of our lives, we often feel inferior to others. Our self-esteems are lowered in the presence of more captivating and confident intellectuals, with the fashion, friends and popularity, capability, riches and beauty. We are never satisfied, but it is a human trait. We yearn for things we do not possess, yet we neglect and fail to cherish the treasures in our grasps.
While I feel like saying, we have to banish our envy, and that we have to appreciate what we already have, because what we have and yet take for granted may be another man's desires. However, like the title of this post, it is hard. Because we are humans, we get jealous of others and their strengths. This in a sense is what motivates us to push ourselves further. To be wealthy like Donald Trump, it is an aspiration that can be fulfilled. Why? The driving force of our innermost desires push us to our limits; we want to be like the rest. We want the rest of the population to look up to us in admiration.
Envy may seem like a bad thing, but it is the driving fuel for us to achieve our varying definitions of success. Labels: random, the world
