For some of us, it's more than just an emotion.
It is envy
It's a way of life.
And most of all,
It's a curse.
Why can't we just accept what we don't have and get over it?
Who knows?
But one thing is for sure.
It stings like a police front man.
Do we accomplish anything from feeling this emotion?
Does it increase our Darwinian fitness?
Or is it just an unnecessary evil unleashed by Pandora herself.
Perhaps a better question is:
What can do about it?
The obvious answer? Go after whatever it is you're jealous of.
But sometimes this doesn't work out.
Sometimes you've just wanted something too much, and for too long.
So the backup plan?
Hope to Ford it blows over, and quick.
Because even the biggest storms and the brightest flames must die down eventually, right?
