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.
