The Green Eyed Monster


 

In following some blogs over the last few months-boy are people jealous of other people! Especially those with money, time off, ability to travel and who speak about it very indiscreetly on their blogs!


Green green.

 
A few comments:

 

It is sad to see people so jealous that in turn can make them mean

I really respect when someone admits they are jealous

 
I think many blogs bring out the worst in people in lots of ways. Especially very rosey colored blogs can do that even more

 
I have seen in my own network over the last couple of years the difference between people who are  genuinly happy for me for certain things  and people who appear envious for certain things. It is always a hard feeling to handle. And it feels yucky when people you care about and close to you don't share in your good fortunes or happiness  that come along every once in a while

Jealously in my view is much more about the other person and how they feel about themselves than about yourself and anything your are doing wrong

 
I think when you have alot of money (or your family does) and this is known on the internet-you need to be careful how you expose it and be gentle in its telling. When showing pictures of mansions and pools the size of most waterparks in Florida I think you need to be less naïve and expect readers will react. If you put it out there....expect various reactions. Handle them with grace


I think people who are angry and jealous should stop reading certain blogs!

 
Jealousy is an awful feeling to feel (I have felt it many a time) and an awful feeling to have put on you (as really brings out the worst sides of otherwise caring and loving people)
 
If you are jealous-feel it..reflect on why...be nice..be kind..strive to do or get more of what that other person has-. and get over yourself! very likley that other person has worked harder, made better decisons, reached for the stars harder, made their dreams come true and you should learn from them and not envy them in a mean way!

 
Not called the green eyed monster for nothing!!!
