God give everyone different life.we have no need to be envious of others.Because when you are envious of others,at the same time,you are envious by others.If i have time,i will see the blog of my friends.one of friends is my classmate in high school,schoolfellow in the university and even we are relatives.Now i stay at home to take care of my baby.she has a good job,so her mother told all of relatives.I got the information from my mother ,also i got it from her blog.she writed she went on errands to U.S.A in the end of the last year.maybe she didn't say anything,But from her words,i was envious of her.Many times i will think that if i didn't be dimission,i will also have a good job and have chance to go on errands to U.S.A.LOL. Thinking more carefully,i laughted and realized how stupid i was.God is equity.God give me a good family.i have my husband and my daughter.so i am happy and i am also envious by others. If you are complaining something,please stop and look around,you will find you own many things which were envious by others.So we have no need to be envious of others.

You are right Tinna, everyone has his own lifestyle so we don’t have to envy others’. Yeah, if you envy your friend’s brilliant achievement in her job surely you won’t feel happy with what you have possessed at the present moment. Of course I know from your words you are a person always with positive thinking. Really, you and your husband own a happy and lucky family with a lovely little girl. I have a couple of friends who always complain that they would feel rather lonely most of the when back to their home after work, though both of them show excellent performance in their professional work, especially when seeing most of their friends and siblings having their respective happy family. Yeah, it's rather sad that they don't have anyone to share their happiness and sadness at home. I always feel satisfied to have a family that all the members here are healthy and could live with a harmonious life under the same roof. Yeah, I feel content with what I possess currently. Happy posting and take care.

hi tinna...yes if we don't appreciate the good things that we have we will never be content. some people that we may envy aren't satisfied themselves. they always want more. so we will have a better quality life if we keep our minds on the things that are right in our life and stop looking at others.
