Jealousy
"are you ever jealous of those that are always on the way? They know what school they want to go to, what profession they want to be, and they are always on the right path?"
"yeah, I hate those people."
"I dont. I like the path i took. It has allowed me to understand the human element more. I think if i made it from point a to point b, i would think that that is all it took in this world to make it, hard work. And that others around me were just lazy."
"and I wouldn't have moments like this and develop friendships with the people i have in this place."
"yeah, but you would be too busy enjoying the fruit of your success with another group of people."
"yeah, maybe. but I like the people I am here with now."
We want to run this life to the good moments. If only we can get to the next point, we will be happy. You know that point when you "make it." But then what? What do you do when you get there? A lot of times you could be doing the same things you could be doing now.
The joy is in the moments right now. Here in this moment. Those that miss it. Don't miss Life.

you need to post up that picture of the squiggly lines.
Person A reminds me of my recent ex. Lol.
person A totally set up persona B, maybe person B was just trying to be agreeable.
Totally agree with Person B. I used to be, and still am, a little jealous of those that know where they're going and have everything in their life planned out. But as I've kept hearing over and over again, everyone has their own path, and just because yours doesn't match everyone else's, isn't necessarily bad. I guess this post can also be associated with not really being able to appreciate the good without experiencing some of the bad.
@petitetokio - picture of the squiggly lines?
@Manbeast - the one you posted on facebook. the line chart.
@petitetokio - hah i know what you're talking about
it's the axis with squiggly lines that's like 'road to success' or something . lol
in my honest opinion: jealousy is for those with poor understanding. i am sure you have heard of this, "to be great is to be misunderstood."
i don't mean to run on your ass, but most of us see things for what they appear to be rather than what they really are. no success occurs overnight, which people are generally less concern about the details of success, but more concern about whether you make it or not. that's the problem with people's mentality, never really digging in for the reality.
another thing to take in account is that people do not disclose their downfalls (enough or relevant enough) prior reaching their success point, thus they appear more "perfect" and perhaps "on the track."
for instance, i can easily manipulate people by revealing that i obtained 4.0 gpa at 18 semester units max and by saying "i dont really study." that alone mislead people thinking that i am definitely smart or a genius. however, the reason i dont study because i am taking the easiest teacher known for their effortless easy grade, but the fact that i don't disclose this information is misleading. furthermore, i could not disclose the fact that i withdraw a class that i could have gotten a C. i decided to save my ass by dropping it to save my gpa, which again, i will not disclose this info to anyone. therefore, i would appear more "perfect" or "on track" simply by not disclosing enough or relevant enough.
most importantly, everyone's different and our values are different, so the level of "element of relationships" (or human) may not apply to everyone.
without being said, i have always admired your cultivation with relationship.

@wyarcharctic -
Thank you both for sharing your thoughts on the matter.
@wyarcharctic - haha thanks buddy. Relationships are important.
What I am talking about isnt really the 4.0 student not looking like they work at it. I am talking about the 4.0 student who got into berkeley and then harvard law and is about to graduate and work for the top law firm in america opposed to the other guy who went to community college transferred to a state, took the 6 to 7 year plan, and still does not have a job lined up.
But I agree. There are struggles on the road to success, but at the end of it. Their lives seem shinier from the outside. I am not going to judge if they are happy or any of that because I am not them.

yea i felt that today...if I was a billionaire, I'd probably be doing the same things I do now...except all my stuff would be designer labeled. Rolling in my honda to walmart would be rolling in my jaguar to Target (french pronunciation). Typing on xanga on my old computer would be typing on my new special order lavendar Mac on my Premium Xanga...lol. things like that.
All the cherimoyas I want instead of just apples...but hey apples taste good too! Life is okay right now.
And in my better moments, I feel that even if you dont know what path you should be on or where you're going...you're on the right path for you.
You make sense out of the most complex topics.http://sarasotaduiattorney.net
