Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself. -Mary Schmich
Shiny, sparkling grown-up-girl’s treasure.
Lightness and silver-chained Tiffany pleasure.
As children we covet our friend’s possessions.
But we do not begrudge them.
Children cry readily-
“I want one of those!”
But they never mean-
“And I don’t want you to have it.”
These things change as we get older.
Envy adheres to Jealousy.
Jealousy adheres to Spite.
Spite adheres to Revenge.
Revenge never adheres to happiness.
Simple but true – and powerful.
