The dish always taste better on another Table? Or another person's something always seems better? Or there are any number of manner in which to illustrate the same idea. This human tendency to want what other people want is inevitably inherited from our ancestry. Just that some people has more of this tendency than others.
I am writing about this because lately, I have been reminded how some of us and myself included have this urge to think like that. I am reminded of a story that was sent to me by one of my friend.
An Angel was sent to earth to fullfill wishes for people. One time, the angel encounted a rich man with a beautiful wife who lives in a big house with lots of friends. The angel looked at this man and thought for a moment, the angel then with a wave of her magic took away everything the man ever had and left. The man after losing everything became very sad. After two weeks, the angel came back and gave everything back to him. The man then became very happy for the rest of his life and thanked the angel.
This story may sound stupid to some of you but it is an important story to keep in mind. Whenever, you believe that what other people have is better than what you have, think about this story and you won't feel this way anymore.
Just some food for thought :) Learn to appriciate what you have and not what others have. Be content with yourself and live happily. Jealousy is the root of many evils!!
