Jealousy

The green eyed monster. You see it everywhere, with almost everyone at one time or another. I see it all over the sites. It is a horrible trait but it seems to be one of populations biggest. You should be happy when your coworker gets a promotion. Usually most people are secretly thinking it should have been them, or they didn't deserve it. Instead of thinking, if I work hard, that can be me. If it should of been you and for some reason and it wasn't maybe the man upstairs has a bigger and better plan if you allow. By getting jealous and angry, only gets the man upstair a bit annoyed with you. How about when your best friend starts dating a great girl/guy, your are already hoping for the break up. When we see someone wearing a sexy litlle dress, right away the claws come out, " that looks so trashy, she must be easy ". It's okay that it is all over tv and magazines and those people we idolize, because they are not a threat to our emotions, or our lives. If these people were over weight wearing the same things, it would go unnoticed. Some might say they shouldn't be wearing that. We should be encouraging our friends, be happy for the co worker. Work out, get help to get to wear that little black dress you hoped to be able to wear for years. We create our lives. We are the writer, director and star of our lives. We can make anything we want happen if we strive for it. It's like baseball, you practice and practice. You swing the bat over and over, sooner or later, you' ll hit that ball out of the park. That is how you should look at life, that you can achieve what you want. By being jealous is the last way to get it. It just pisses the big guy off. So look at each situation with love and a kind heart and better thing will be waiting for you, and will come your way. Being jealous that someone has more money. Got the raise at work. Looks better in a bathing suit, and is comfortable to wear that itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow poka dot bikini. So what. Let people live their lives however they choose. We are suppose to be a country of freedom of speech, but we are sure uptight. Let down your hair and live...and who cares about anyone else that's not you...mind your own business. Didn't your mother teach you..."If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Enjoy life,  and live! xo Barbara Jeanne
