Envy necessary?
I am still down with sickness. I hope it is not dengue actually because Joycelyn got mosquito bites at Timbre bar but then she is perfectly alright. I am just being paranoid.
Getting sick is a total waste of time.
I will elaborate why I feel little depressed yesterday. To be frank, I feel envious of my friends own sucess and I am proud of myself to be frank in my blog. It takes guts to write my true feeling down.
I am feeling happy for my friends for being able to achieve their certain minor/major goals in their life. The good thing is I don't get that burning sensation in my gut for their success. That shows that I discovered that I am genuinely happy for them.
None of us react exactly the same way to anything. The events yesterday do trigger burning envy in me. At its core, envy comes from a sense of dissatisfaction.
People may think that I do not work hard ENOUGH to get what I want and I am not that proactive in trying to achieve my goal. I did my very best, just that I have lesser luck than them.
It takes me a day or two to overcome that first wave of envy, but once it passess.Envy is simply an emotion. We've all got them. The trick is to recognize envy for what it is, to understand where it comes from, and to find a way to cope with it that works for me. I hope it motivates me to find a niche for whom I am and why I am needed here on Earth.
Or perhaps a better solution would be to avoid those things that trigger envy to begin with. I should go into one month spiritual seclusion, seeking God's help for a better person with a better life.
Ultimately, envy is nothing but an emotion, and emotions are neither good nor bad.For today, I learn how to cope with that feeling, and find a way to use it if I can to my advantage.
Life is temporary.

I am envious of them, earning bucks, while I, am frantically finding job.
I am envious of them, going for holidays almost every month, while I, am still stay at home all the time.
I am envious of them, having someone to love with , while I, am still seeking for companionship.
I am envious of them, having and keeping old and good friends, while I, am losing them.
I am envious of them, having world materials they need, while I, am possesing only two wardobes of clothes.
I am envious of them, knowing so many people, while I, am nobody.
These lead me to think nonsense, hence to depression
