    And then there’s the joke about the egomaniac who told his psychiatrist that he was developing an inferiority complex because he felt that there might be someone in the world who was almost as good as he was.

    I live in an apartment building where I own the second smallest car on the lot — and I bought that used.

    I think I’m safe.

    OTOH, it’s the nicest car on the lot, as long as you don’t need to pit anyone in the back seat. And you don’t care about rattles.

    Why do people always compare themselves to those who have more. People would be a lot happier if they kept in mind that they’re better off than 90% of the world’s population.

    I will often get down thinking how my life has not turned out the way I envisioned as a child.I never landed my dream job. I’m not independently wealthy. I was never a world class athlete despite 20 yrs in the Marines.Then I look at the amazing woman who has graced my life for the last 35 years and I realize that had I gotten all I wanted, I never would have met her. At that moment I am always overwhelmed by a wave of gratitude. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. When it comes to the right choices, I’m batting about 200… maybe. The one thing I did right was turn a chance meeting into a lifetime of overall happiness.No matter how bad the day. Holding her in my arms, and she holding me in hers, makes all the bad and ugly in the world fade away as my being is infused with the love radiating from her heart.

    I’m sorry, Pig, but houses nowadays are made bigger than older houses. In my neighborhood a house burned down and they are building a new house on the spot. The new house while it is single story like the other houses it towers over the older 1970s houses.

    So is it up to the individual (Pig) to get what he wants, or up to a higher authority to take it away from neighbor Bob so Pig feels better?

    I know that “material things dont bring happiness” and that is true to an extent. but its also about how you get the things you have. Are you honest? a ponzi? a hard worker? a heavy loaner? it just depends on how you get what you have.

    This reminds me of the story about two farmers. Farmer John can’t afford a cow and is jealous that his neighbor Bob has one. John is working his field one day when he finds a magic lamp. He rubs it and out comes a genie who grants him one wish. Rather than wish for happiness, good health, great wealth or even just a cow of his own, he instead wishes for Bob’s cow to die.

    Envy makes people do horrible things. John should have wished for Bob to die so he could take his cow.

    And Pig recognizes how toxic envy can be. I have enough to live a decent life. Unless they stole it from me, I don’t resent others just for having more.
