It will eat you up.

"You can feel anything. All is free for you to feel.
But I guarantee you that if you allow yourself to feel envy and then, to swim in it, that envy will destroy you and the people around you.
Envy is unlike anger.
Envy is not a right wing nor a left wing, it is not on either end of the balancing beam.
Nobody needs it and I can assure you that once you give yourself to it, you will be eaten up"
-

Envy . Jealousy . Greed . Desire 

Such strong terms that haunts us in our daily life. 
Ironic isn't it. 
We always want what's best for the ones we love, but very few can be truly sincere to how they really feel.
In fact, we are. We are happy for them, for what they are able to have or what they are able to achieve.

But sometimes, just sometimes, 
"Ooh how I wish it was me.."

Jealousy does kill, I gotta admit.
Some say its a form of motivation. 
Some sort of inspiration to push you further, to achieve more, to have bigger dreams.
But how many can actually take it in - positively?

But I always remind myself;
"When God takes some, He gives some."

Nobody's perfect right?
How much can you compare yourself to anyway?
Love yourself a little more. Don't always put yourself down.

There's a saying,
"一山比一山高" that is - "There's always a mountain higher than another"

So, be thankful for what you have :)
Look more into what you're glad to have.
Life's easier that way.


Stop comparing.
