Envy and be envied

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-01

In life, there will always be moments when you envy other people's everything. Maybe it's the gorgeous clothes, maybe it's the luxury car, or maybe the power and status in the hands of others. And when you stare at others, have you ever thought that maybe others are looking at you the same way?

I once heard a story about a young girl in the old days, who always admired the beauty and talent of another girl in the village. The girl was jealous and sighed every day. One day, her thoughts were known to a wandering monk, who smiled and said, "Do you know that the girls in the village envy your innocence and happiness?" The girl was stunned, it turned out that she also had moments of envy.

Life is like this, we often only see what others have, but ignore the treasure in our own hands. This treasure is not gold or silver, but intangible qualities and emotions that belong to us.

Maybe you don't have a gorgeous appearance, but you have a sincere heart; You may not have a luxury car or a mansion, but you have a warm family; You may not have a high position of power, but you have happiness in the ordinary. These are your unique treasures.

When we envy others, we tend to ignore what we have. Just like the girl, her innocence and happiness are her greatest treasures. People often only see the external brilliance of others, but ignore their inner exhaustion and pain.

In life, not everyone can have everything you envy. Everyone has their own destiny and path to follow. Cherish what you have and don't blindly chase everything from others.

Finally, I would like to say that when you envy others, you may not know that they are looking at you with envy. It's a pity that everyone's eyes are often fixed on others, but they ignore the treasures they have.

So, please cherish the moment and cherish every moment of yourself.
