Friends, do you become suspicious of people who suddenly became "rich" out of nowhere? Am i being suspicious or envious?

No Grace beta, no i am not envious, i earn by honest means only, and a person earning by honest means can never become rich over night, the criminals, smullegers, black marketers do get rich very soon, but at a particular time in their life, all go with interest, they land on the road.. It is their karma.. Blessings from Paps

I would probably be amazed, not envious or suspicious. The person may have been working very hard over the years persuing his career, but never got rewarded. The , all of a sudden , he might gain what he had deserved. There can be diferent possibilities, e.g. doing a mining project for some time and then suddenly finding the gold deposit.

if it's out of nowhere and you really can't tell where he/she got the money, then i should be suspicious... but if the person was actually working quietly and then after years got the results, then i would be inspired and not suspicious.

I have never really had that happened to me, but I think it would probably be a bit of both.

Perhaps you are both. But don't worry, it a human trait to be suspicious or envious of other people, especially if the other party has been blessed or come into many opportunities. I guess you are suspicious on the sources of the new-found resources of these other people - especially if they are friends and close acquaintances. It's human to wonder how other people come into such good luck. However, as human, we are also privy to be envious because that said good luck or opportunity didn't come to us - especially we think that we deserve it. Perhaps in a sense, we justify or mask our being envious to suspicion becuase it doesn't categorized or make us look bad. As human as it sounds, we don't want other people to think ill of us when we have a right to be selfish for ourselves in limited opportunities. At the end of the day, it's you who know your feelings well.
