Whom do you envy?

[humble soul]

Besides me I mean.

Those already in Heaven?
Those better versed in scripture?
Those who seem closer to God?
Youth?
The successful in life?
Stable families?
Happily married?
The talented?

I envy the youthful and injury free. I wish I could jog again. Recently, walking to the park is a big deal. What has life come to? I'm too young to be old!!
Soon I will need a walking cane. What a joke!

Ah but envy is a lack of appreciation. Focussing on what we don't have.
We need to focus on our blessings. I know. Further shame. Further guilt.

People who have it all together. Those moms with the perfect hair and the neat houses. My life always seems so frazzled.

My wife has cancer. She envies people who haven't got it .

I’m sorry to hear that, I’ll pray for her. From what you say about her on here she seems like an awesome lady.

Thanks dash.
she is. It's not an immediate death sentence these days. She got diagnosed in 2013. It's just like an annoying dark shadow that won't go away.her quality of life is surprisingly good. She's an avid swimmer and cyclist.

My brother is profoundly deaf. From his behaviour and what he says, he seems very envious of the rest of the family. I imagine it's like "God, why me?".
And the fact I love music , must inadvertantly rub salt in the wounds.

When I was a teacher I endured huge envy.
Other teachers seemed to find the job easier. They coped better. They weren't exhausted by recess . I suspected there was something amiss with me. I was right.

Im just here to remind you origin is on now.

Of course I'm a nsw fan. I was born there.

Unfair penalty that lead to one try and forward pass that lead to another try, and blood face cleary should be off the field. Thats about all i have to say for now.

I envy your ability to derail this thread

I don't know that I envy anyone. There are some people that I believe have uncanny talents, skills, or abilities and I think it's cool but as far as I can tell I'm content with what I have been given.

I knew you would say that .

I don't really envy but I still desire.
If I can't have that Mercedes today then I'll keep on saving and maybe I'll get one before I die.
In the mean time, I'm happy with saving for one.
Who cares if someone else has one.
Good for them.
It's no big deal.
It's all just a thing.
Maybe I'll just keep saving and then God will have me spend it on something to serve him, and then I know I'll enjoy that even better.
I've had so much surgery and so much pain, yet I still believe at 70 years young, the best is yet to come.
Hallelujah!

I envy other older men who still have hair on top of their head . Evidently I am too tall for my hair .
