To those who still find some form of peace or solace in reading my transcripted thoughts,

Don't we all envy that one person who has all the things we don't?Things such as attention,privileges and even wealth.We become envious of those that have their wants and needs granted to them upon request.Which brings us to another Cardinal Sin...Envy.

Oftentimes we find ourselves in the company of people who don't even need to do anything yet they get all the attention.Some of us become envious,or jealous of these kinds of people and when enough darkness has built up inside us due to that very same envy,we tend to...Go out of our way to be like them.But at what cost?As I've said many times...Let the darkness in enough,and it will consume you.What happens when we try to be like the person right in front of us?

You'll find that your self-appreciation is...Well,kaput.You'll begin hating who you are and start chasing something you were never meant to be.This delusion often brings only one outcome:Failure.Why,you might ask?It's simple.We simply were born with our own respective edges over other people.Be who you truly are and never try to be someone you're not.Trying so would be simply...Undignifying.You're not respecting the greatness you were meant to be.

Envy also puts us in a situation where people have an obligation to put us down for not appreciating what we already have and instead chasing after the impossibilities.If people found out you were envious of someone else,what's to happen?People will know of your insecurities.And again,I emphasise on the word Trust.Know who to trust and tell your secrets to.Just imagine the effect it'd have on your reputation if you told someone untrustworthy and they decided to spill the beans.

We live in a society where people are hell-bent on outdoing others.But for every superior person,there's bound to be a counterpart.There will definitely be envy deep in the darkened hearts of the society.What then?

Two words.Be yourself.Appreciate the existence granted to you in this world.Once you come to terms with that and accept the reality of your disadvantages,you'll learn that it'll be easier to move along in life.Letting go of such envy will be easy when you face your own setbacks.

So how will you look at people now,after realising what your true worth is,human?
