Envy

Let’s begin our wrestle, our yin/yang, with the 7 deadly sins.

Envy is the one deadly sin that I come closest to saying yes! envy is totally ugly. I don’t like it because it assumes that you are less than you are, and why would you want to think that? Here’s the deal:If I am envious of you that means I think you have something I want. Well I don’t. I like being me. I like the things I surround myself with. I am reasonably happy. Hopefully you are happy too. Now if you bought that swimming pool just to show it off to your friends and neighbors, well you will be unhappy. It has to be because you wanted it, you lusted for it, you dreamt of it. If there wasn’t any passion behind acquiring the thing/person/whatever, you will quickly tire of it and no, it will not make you happy. You will get rid of it and replace it with some other thing/person/whatever. It’s an endless cycle. Look to you. You have your own answers. Wow I am starting to sound like Dr. Phil.

Envy sucks. I don’t want to be you. You be you, I’ll be me.

I can’t seem to get the yin/yang of this one. Do you have a clue?
