Esteem doesn’t know envy
Posted by Cecilia under: Philosophy .
Envy is a feeling every person comes to know at least once in life.
When we want to find out why we sometimes feel envy we have to ask ourselves what happens to us before we feel it.
Most often the reason for envy is comparison. At the moment we compare ourselves with others we can feel envy in us. Looking at other people we can get the impression that they are happier than we are or whatever seemingly better attribute we want to give.
In fact when we think about it we have to admit that there is no reason to feel envy. We can only see the outer part of people, we don’t see behind their life role or life mask.
The other point is even more important: we can’t compare ourselves to others. There is no basis for comparison because everybody is unique.
Esteem teaches us this life lesson. There is no reason to envy others because all of us are matchless. There is no other person on earth who is the similar to you.
Esteem doesn’t know envy - in the contrary esteem grants everybody his unique preciousness.
