RE: Wake up and stop comparing on Hive

Ahhh, yes @tarazkp ...

When it comes to things we want, if someone has more than us, we have the tendency to be envious in some way and believe that we are entitled to more ourselves. We do not consider the complex makeup of what led to the result, we consider only what comes to mind, putting extra weighting on the factors where we are equal or better, discounting or completely ignoring where we might be lacking.

... human nature in all its uhhh ... "glory" ... Isn't it wonderful?

The "antidote?" Being grateful for what we have and complimentary of others. Envy is toxic and destructive ...

Nice post emphasizing the importance of hard work. And earning what we deem to be in our best interest, rather than simply "settle" for believing we are entitled to it.
