In life theres is so many things to envy about. Its simply human to envy. Because NONE of us are perfect. Some are wealthier, healthier, lovable, likeable, successful, talented, influential, prettier, stronger and the list goes on and on and on. Of cause we would like to have all the good things to us. But reality says otherwise. Thats why God is fair. Even if your rich, may be your don't have a peace of mind. If your prettier, maybe you are not healthy. Or even if your are talented, maybe you are not likeable.
So what we do, we envy of things that others are and things that we are not. Why don't we just sit back, relax and regroup. Accept you for who you are, learn to love yourself. Then only you are in a stable state of mind. Just remember, if GOD gave you an extra something on a certain trait, something else is gonna be lesser. Just to see if your grateful or not.
I'm happy with my life. It could be slightly better. But I'm thankful with what I have now. Health is the upmost priority. Just taking 1 step at a time.
Danilov: I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.
