Green.



I am opinionated. I have an opinion about almost everything. Especially people. A college buddy recently told me that I either liked somebody or hated them with a passion. No in betweens.
I know I can be really critical of people. Sometimes I say that I am not "critical" I am just more observant than most J
Ok. Ok. I have to work on that.
We all need to look for the "good" in people. Everybody has some redeeming qualities. (While I am typing this, I am still trying to convince myself that this is true.)
Willie Revillame, for instance. Hmmm.. I'll get back to you on that. Bad example.
It is not jealousy. I think the past months have taught me that humility is more attractive on me.
I think it took me awhile but I have finally come around to accepting what I am and what I am not. What I can be and what I will never be. And I am good with that.
The sin of jealousy stifles the good work we all wanna do.
It speaks well of people who honor without envy, somebody who have prospered. Inversely, haters hate the good fortune the befall their peers. There are many roads to hate, but envy is the shortest of them all. You will lose friends so fast if you desire their demise. Be happy for them! Envy eats you from the inside out.
I read once that "Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope." Oh sure you will find stuff wrong with everybody you meet. But focus, or better yet, step back. So you can see what is good. Jealousy is a self-inflicted wound. Although jealousy stems more from self-love than love for others. You aren't doing yourself any favors. It will eat you up till you are soo miserable that you miss all the blessings you have received. The only person worth envying is the person who doesn't envy.
